The muscles that lift the scapula are:


Trapezius (upper), levator scapulae and rhomboid muscles

The muscles that can lower the scapula are:

Trapezius (lower), pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, latissimus dorsi

The muscles that retract the scapula are:

Trapezius, rhomboid and levator scapulae

The muscles that extend the scapula forward are:

Pectoralis minor and serratus anterior

The muscles that enable suprascapular rotation are:

Trapezius and serratus anterior

The muscles that can rotate under the scapula are:

Levator scapulae, pectoralis minor and rhomboid muscles

In addition to the above muscles, there are also muscles attached to the scapula:

Deltoid, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, subscapular, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major, teres minor, coracobrachial, scapulohyoid, latissimus dorsi


All together, there are 16 muscles! The following is their introduction one by one:
