Rhomboid minor muscle
Skeletal muscle of the upper back
In human anatomy, the rhomboid minor is a small skeletal muscle of the back that connects the scapula to the vertebrae of the spinal column.[citation needed] It arises from the nuchal ligament, and the 7th cervical and 1st thoracic vertebrae and intervening supraspinous ligaments; it inserts onto the medial border of the scapula. It is innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve.
It acts together with the rhomboid major to keep the scapula pressed against the thoracic wall.[1]
