The core of the rhomboid muscle (lat. musculus rhomboides) is a large muscle tissue that is located in the side of the body and provides stability to the spine and chest during movement. It is involved in the process of maintaining posture and coordinating movements associated with bending the body to the sides.
The rhomboid muscle nucleus begins in the anterior sections of the spinous process of the fourth thoracic vertebra, then covers the midline, runs along the lateral edge of the transverse processes
