The deltoid muscle located laterally on the upper arm can be used for intramuscular injections.

Why is the gluteus minimus located in the pelvis?
Because of its location, the gluteus minimus muscle covers the sciatic notch, an area in the pelvis that holds the piriformis muscle, superior gluteal vein, and superior gluteal artery, helping offer some protection. Separating the gluteus minimus and the gluteus medius are superior gluteal nerves and blood vessels.
