Retraction= Middle trapezius
Elevation= Upper trapezius
The rhomboids are responsible for the retraction of the scapula. There are two rhomboid muscles, the major and the minor.
Your scapula is your shoulder-blade. The scapula only connects at the clavicle and is held in place by muscles.
The primary muscles involved in scapula depression are the lower trapezius and the latissimus dorsi.
Seventeen muscles originate on the scapula, including the deltoid, trapezius, and subscapularis muscles. These muscles play a key role in shoulder movement and stability.
Function of the ScapulaThe scapula is the mobile bone to which most of the shoulder muscles are attached. It is attached to the back by other muscles. It serves as a broad plate for the strong anchoring of muscles of the upper extremity.

The rhomboid muscles, often simply called the rhomboids, are rhombus-shaped muscles associated with the scapula and are chiefly responsible for its retraction. There are two rhomboid muscles: Rhomboid major muscle and Rhomboid minor muscle. They are located on the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column.
Pectoralis Major
The upward rotation of scapula muscles helps to stabilize the shoulder joint and allows for smooth movement of the arm.
