Rhomboid minor inserts at which location?

Rhomboid minor inserts at which location?

• A. Medial scapula
• B. Root of spine
• C. Medial scapula, root of spine
• D. Superior angle

Answer: (C)

Rhomboid minor inserts at the medial border of the scapula right at the level where the scapular spine meets the medial border—the root of the spine. This precise attachment lets it retract the scapula and assist in rotating the scapula to permit arm elevation. The superior angle is not the insertion site, and simply saying “medial border” or “root of spine” alone misses the exact combined location. (Note: rhomboid major attaches lower on the medial border toward the inferior angle, which helps distinguish the two.)
