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 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.
