Solution
The muscles that are named for their shape are:
-
Deltoid: The deltoid muscle is named for its shape because it resembles the Greek letter Delta, which is shaped like a triangle.
-
Teres Major: The term 'Teres' is derived from the Latin word for round, referring to the round shape of this muscle.
The Pectoralis Major and Superior Rectus are not named for their shape. The Pectoralis Major is named for its location in the pectoral (chest) region, and the Superior Rectus is named for its function and location (it's a straight muscle in the upper part of the eye).
