The intercostal muscles between the ribs control the movement of the thorax and rib cage. The diaphragm, which separates the thorax from the abdomen controls the volume of the thorax. As the intercostal muscles contract the rib cage is drawn upwards and out, the diaphragm flattens so the volume inside the thorax increases therefore, air is drawn in.
