The levator scapulae is a slender [1]: 910 skeletal muscle situated at the back and side of the neck. It originates from the transverse processes of the four uppermost cervical vertebrae; it inserts onto the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula. It is innervated by the cervical nerves C3-C4, and frequently also by the dorsal ...
The upper and lower fibers tend to rotate the scapula around the sternoclavicular articulation so that the acromion and inferior angles move up and the medial border moves down (upward rotation). The upper and lower fibers work in tandem with serratus anterior to upwardly rotate the scapulae, and work in opposition to the levator scapulae and ...

There are two rhomboid muscles on each side of the upper back: [1][2][3] The large rhombus-shaped muscle, located under the trapezius muscle, in the ...
Muscles connecting the upper extremity to the vertebral column. Rhomboid major indicated in red. Retracts the scapula and rotates it to depress the glenoid cavity.
