Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rhomboideus group of muscles includes the major and minor rhomboid muscles, which originate from the spinous processes of cervical and thoracic vertebrae and insert into the vertebral border of the scapulae. They are responsible for scapular retraction and stabilization. The trapezius group primarily elevates and depresses the scapula, while the intercostal and pectoralis groups are not involved in this specific movement.
