Retraction= Middle trapezius
Elevation= Upper trapezius
trapezius, serratus
The rhomboids are responsible for the retraction of the scapula. There are two rhomboid muscles, the major and the minor.
Your scapula is your shoulder-blade. The scapula only connects at the clavicle and is held in place by muscles.

Function of the ScapulaThe scapula is the mobile bone to which most of the shoulder muscles are attached. It is attached to the back by other muscles. It serves as a broad plate for the strong anchoring of muscles of the upper extremity.

The rhomboid muscles, often simply called the rhomboids, are rhombus-shaped muscles associated with the scapula and are chiefly responsible for its retraction. There are two rhomboid muscles: Rhomboid major muscle and Rhomboid minor muscle. They are located on the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column.
Pectoralis Major
Scapula is the scientific term for shoulder blade. It provides a foundation for the attachments of the muscles that move the arm.There are many functions of the scapula. It forms part of the shoulder girdle and many (16) muscles are associated with it.The actions that the muscles have on it include: elevation (shrugging), depression (slumping), abduction, adduction, rotation, and tipping.The scapula omo (shoulder blade) is the bone which connects the humerous (arm bone) to the clavicle (collar bone) Movements of the scapula are brought about by scapular muscles: Elevation, Depression, Protraction, Retraction, Lateral rotation, Medial rotation, Upward Rotation, Downward Rotation, Anterior Tipping, and Posterior Tipping

The muscles that occupy the fossa, just above the spine of the scapula are the Trapezius muscles. These muscles are so named by the way they can swing the arm back and forth from the front to the back.
