Muscle that daises ribs in forceful inhalation?

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.


Where is the rhomboid muscle located?

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.
