'''''Serratis ventralis'''''
*Origin: C4 to 10th rib
*Insertion: medial scapula and scapular cartilage
*Action: supporting the weight of the trunk
**reinforced by strong fascia
**cervical portion can retract the limb
**caudal portion can advance the limb
*Innervation: branch of brachial plexus
'''''Rhomboids'''''
*Origin: median connective tissue from poll to withers, lying deep to the trapezius
*Insertion: dorsal border and adjacent scapula
