Deltoid vs Diaphragm

特性	Deltoid	Diaphragm
ラテン語名	Musculus deltoideus	Musculus diaphragma
種類	Muscle	Muscle
器官系	Muscular	Muscular
身体部位	Shoulder	Thorax
機能	The primary abductor of the shoulder joint. The anterior fibers flex and medially rotate the arm. The posterior fibers extend and laterally rotate the arm. Gives the shoulder its rounded …	The primary muscle of respiration. Contraction flattens the dome-shaped muscle, increasing thoracic volume and creating negative pressure to draw air into the lungs during inspiration.
臨床的意義	Deltoid paralysis from axillary nerve injury prevents arm abduction. The deltoid is a common site for intramuscular injections. Rotator cuff tears may cause compensatory deltoid overuse.	Diaphragmatic hernias allow abdominal organs to enter the thoracic cavity. Phrenic nerve paralysis causes diaphragmatic elevation. Hiccups result from involuntary diaphragmatic spasms.
