What is the most important breathing muscle?
The diaphragm is the prime mover of inspiration. It flattens on contraction, increasing the vertical dimensions of the thorax, which draws air into the lungs. The external intercostals also contribute to inspiration. The internal intercostals and rectus abdominis are expiratory muscles.
The intercostals are located?
The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs. They play important roles in breathing. There are two sets of intercostal muscles, external and internal. The external intercostals contract during normal inspiration, causing the rib cage to expand out and up and thus increase the volume of the chest cavity. The internal intercostals are used during forced expiration only. When they contract, the rib cage pulled down and together, shrinking the volume of the chest cavity.
