costa is just the fancy term given for ribs. Intercostal muscles are located between the ribs and contract to allow your lungs to suck in air and expand. Costal breathing (shallow breathing) occurs when negative intrapulmonary pressure(normally majorly achieved by diaphragmatic contraction / flattening) is achieved by contraction of the external intercostalis muscle.
