The ribs lower during exhalation.

During forced exhalation, the quadratus lumborum muscle stabilizes the 12th rib while the internal intercostal muscles and transverse thoracic muscle pull the ribs downward forcefully to decrease the volume of the thorax.

How do respiratory and skeletal system work together?

only the ribs work with the respiratory system.
