All of the following muscles retract scapula except_______________?
Correct answer: D. Levator scapulae
- A. Trapezius
- B. Rhomboid major
- C. Rhomboid minor
- D. Levator scapulae
Explanation
Trapezius and both rhomboids retract the scapula by drawing it medially toward the vertebral column. Levator scapulae mainly elevates and downwardly rotates the scapula, so it is the exception.
