• Rhomboid major muscle
• Rhomboid minor muscle

The large rhombus-shaped muscle, located under the trapezius muscle, in the upper part of the thorax region of the back, and the small muscle, in the same way, participate in the movement of the scapula. Their functions are the following:

• Drawing scapula superomedially
• Supporting scapula
• Rotating Glenoid fossa inferiorly

Both muscles are innervation by the dorsal scapular nerve, a branch of the brachial plexus.
