Rhomboideus Major The rhomboid major helps to hold the scapula (and thus the upper limb) onto the ribcage. It also acts to retract the scapula, pulling it towards the vertebral column, and downwardly rotates the scapula with respect to the glenohumeral joint. It works collectively with the levator scapulae to elevate the medial border of the scapula.
What else can I help you with?
What muscle raises ribs in forceful inhalation or pulls scapula forward and downward?
Rhomboid Major
Which muscle will depress the scapula or elevate the ribs?
The pectoralis minor originates on the third to the fifth ribs (and elevates ribs). It depresses the scapula (and elevates ribs).
What are the muscle is attached to the ribs and sternum That expand the rib cage During Inhalation?

What is the name of the rib muscles that contribute to breathing?
Ribs are bones, but lungs contribute to breathing and they are a muscle organNo, your Lungs ARE NOT A MUSCLE. Your diaphragm is the main muscle in inhalation, which opens your lungs (works by creating a negative pressure in your lungs i.e. the pressure outside your chest cavity is more than the pressure in your lungs, causing air to enter your lungs).However, during forced inhalation and exhalation your intercostal muscles and rectus abdominus muslces play a part in exhalation (forcing air out). scalenes lift up your rib cage to allow maximum inhalation.
Which muscle performs protraction of the ribs?
I believe it is the External Intercostals that are responsible for protraction of the ribs.
What muscle contract during inhalation and what muscles contract during exhalation?
The intercostal muscles, (muscles between the ribs), contract.
Is the biceps in the ribs?
No, the biceps is a muscle in your arm.
What is the name of the muscle of where spare ribs come from a pig?
The ribs are linked by the intercostal muscles. These open and close the ribcage to cause breathing.
Function of intercostal muscles?
Intercostal muscles are muscle between two ribs in our chest region. The constrict to lift ribs and increase the volume of rib cage. Increasing the volume the low air pressure attract air in lungs. So we respire by relaxing these muscles we expire the air out.
Which muscle is located between the ribs cage?
Intercostal musles are present between the ribs.
