A muscle so divided that its cut end has a rhombic shape. The region near the obtuse angle of the surface is then electropositive to that near the acute angle. A regular muscle r. is one in which the cross sections of the muscle are parallel; an irregular muscle r., one in which the ends are not parallel. [Gr.]
