The lateral border , or base, the shortest of the three, is slightly concave; its edge, thick and round, is continuous above with the under surface of the acromion , below ...
Deltoideus: originates at the scapula, inserts into the humerus. Helps to flex the scapulohumeral joint. Intertransversales lumborum: between the transverse processes of 1-4th lumbar vertebrae. Intertransversalis colli: occurs between the transverse articular space of the vertebrae, and the lateral side of the vertebrae.
One or two deltopectoral lymph nodes (or infraclavicular nodes) are found beside the cephalic vein, between the pectoralis major and deltoideus, immediately below the clavicle. They are situated in the course of the external collecting trunks of the arm.
