Insertions

Actions

  • Retracts the scapula
  • Elevates the medial border of the scapula
  • Rotates the scapula to depress the glenoid cavity

The rhomboid minor spans between the C7–T1 spinous processes and the medial border of the scapula. It works with the rhomboid major to retract and elevate the scapula, forming a crisp ridge beneath the trapezius.
