Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 1AWYK
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for extension and flexion movements done by deltoid muscle.
Introduction:
The deltoid muscle is located at the top of the arm and the shoulder and is a rounded-triangular muscle. It is attached to the skeleton at the collarbone, shoulder blade, and the upper arm bone with the help of tendons. This muscle is widest at the shoulder and gets narrowed as it moves down the arm. The contraction of deltoid muscle leads to a variety of motions in the arm and the shoulder.

Movement in the skeletal muscles in the body is affected by physiological mechanisms known as levers. There are three parts of levers known as the effort, fulcrum, and load. Please explain how levers, along with its parts allow the arm to move.
When a person dies, the body often experiences rigor mortis. In this condition, it is as if the muscles have become inflexible and it is very difficult to manipulate gather joints. Why does this occur?
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
