                        Summary

                        Rhomboid Minor and Major

                        Origin

                        Minor: nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7 and T1 vertebrae;

                        Major: spinous processes of T2 - T5 vertebrae

                        Insertion

                        Medial border of scapula from level of spine to inferior angle

                        Action

                        Retract scapula and rotate it to depress glenoid cavity; fix scapula to thoracic wall.

                        Innervation

                        Dorsal scapular nerve (C4 and C5) 

                        Arterial Supply

                        Dorsal scapular artery
