For this cause some anatomists have described the rhomboid as consisting of two parts--the superior or small rhomboid and the inferior or large rhomboid, on account of the position occupied by each, and of their difference in volume.
In order to make intelligible the position of the rhomboid in the superficial layer in quadrupeds, it appears to us necessary to recall the anatomical characters of the muscle as found in man.
In the limited interval between these two muscles a part of the rhomboid and parts of other muscles are seen with which we shall soon be occupied.
This difference is best marked in the #Phaeoconchia#, whose bivalved lattice-shells have as their ground-form the rhomboid pyramid of Ctenophora.
Rhomboid was right, I had only a few weeks longer to live.
Rhomboid were right, I had only three or four months longer to live, and yet, in a way for which I could not account, I constantly found myself thinking of Isabella Lethbridge.
A rhomboid has something to do with mathematics, hasn't it?
Rhomboid told me," and I looked at his face curiously, because I wanted to see how he would take it.
Corolla white, twisted, cylindrical, with salver-shaped limb divided in 5 rhomboid lobes, throat stellate and woolly.
A little later the cares and jolts of life wrenched the right angles a trifle "out of plumb," and a rhomboid was the result.
Facing him in the album, and most appropriately contrasted, was the portrait of a young master--the embodiment of all that Mr. Rhomboid most heartily loathed.
He it was who took up the same exercise in algebra to Mr. Rhomboid all the time he was in the Sixth Form, and obtained maiks, ostensibly for a French exercise, with a composition called De Camelo qualis sit.
It of course follows that the base of these cells, instead of being formed like those of the hexagonal cells of three rhomboids, consists of one rhomboid and two trapeziums.
The larger rhomboid had no spinal attachment; the minorrhomboid seemed to be the larger of the two.
Among the rhomboid protuberances it made a whitish score, and that was all.
Its corrugated skin of bluish brown colour was coated with slippery mucus, that glittered under the sun as it moved; and large masses of the swamp-slime rested in the concavities between its rhomboid scales.
If we place the rectangle and the rhomboid upon the same base, we at once see that there is something common to both, namely, the triangle formed by the base, a part of one side of the rhomboid, and a part of one side of the rectangle.
The surface of a rhomboid is equal to the surface of a rectangle having the same base and altitude.
Second: the relation results from the comparison of the rhomboid with the rectangle; and, consequently, it must be found in a total conception containing them both.
On the contrary, we see this equality flow from the conception of the rhomboid and that of the rectangle, as partial conceptions of the total conception, formed by the combination of them both.
The Osteolepidae differ from the Megalichthyidae mainly in the presence of enameled rhomboid scales, as in Polypterus and Lepisosteus.
The enameled, rhomboid scales are in movable oblique whorls, each scale interlocked with its neighbors.
FORM: The cross-section may be either rhomboid or biconvex.
Under normal conditions, in making this movement the serratus and rhomboid muscles pull forward the vertebral border and inferior angle of the scapula, and so fix the bone firmly against the chest wall.
The inter-articular cartilage sometimes remains attached to one bone, sometimes to the other; the rhomboid ligament is usually intact.
In rare cases the rhomboid ligament is torn, and the end of the clavicle passes upwards, and rests in the episternal notch behind the sterno-mastoid muscle.
