19 Σεπ 2023 · Under innervation from the dorsal scapular nerve, the rhomboids primarily retract the scapula superomedially and rotate the glenoid cavity. Therefore, the rhomboids are important to stabilize the scapula into position and reinforce the shoulder. This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the rhomboid muscles.
2 Ιαν 2023 · Rhomboid Major. The rhomboid major is an extrinsic muscle of the shoulder. It is located deep to the trapezius, and inferior to the rhomboid minor. Attachments: Originates from the spinous processes of T2-T5 vertebrae. Attaches to the medial border of the scapula, between the scapula spine and inferior angle.
16 Μαΐ 2023 · The rhomboid minor is a cylindrical muscle that originates at the ligamentum nuchae and C7 and T1 vertebra. It inserts at the scapula's medial border near the base of the spine of the scapula. The rhomboid major is a quadrangular muscle located inferior to the rhomboid minor.
28 Ιουν 2023 · The rhomboid major is a paired superficial muscle located in the upper back of the human body. The major and minor rhomboids are collectively called the rhomboids, which form the superficial layer of extrinsic back muscles with the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and levator scapulae.
20 Δεκ 2022 · The rhomboid major is a muscle located in the back that connects the scapula (shoulder blade) to the vertebrae of the spine. Along with the rhomboid minor muscle, it works to keep the scapula pressed against the thoracic wall (the back of the chest) and to move the scapula towards the spine.
This review briefly describes recent biochemical and structural work that begins to explain how proteolysis occurs in a hydrophobic environment, but then focuses more extensively on the emerging biological functions of rhomboids.
Function. The rhomboid major helps to hold the scapula (and thus the upper limb) onto the ribcage. Other muscles that perform this function include the serratus anterior and pectoralis minor. Both rhomboids (major and minor) also act to retract the scapula, pulling it towards the vertebral column.
