Description. The Rhomboids are two muscles - Rhomboid Major & Rhomboid Minor. The two rhomboids lie deep to trapezius to form parallel bands that pass inferolaterally from the vertebrae to the medial border of the scapula. Rhomboid Major is thin and flat and twice as wide as the thicker Rhomboid Minor which lies superior to it.

In medicine. In a type of arthritis called pseudogout, crystals of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate accumulate in the joint, causing inflammation. Aspiration of the joint fluid reveals rhomboid-shaped crystals under a microscope. In anatomy, rhomboid-shaped muscles include the rhomboid major muscle and the rhomboid minor muscle. References.
20 Απρ 2024 · The rhomboid muscles are a pair of muscles located in the upper back region.
