What are the muscle is attached to the ribs and sternum That expand the rib cage During Inhalation?
it's called the diaphragm! but technically it expands your muscles so your lungs can expand, it doesn't expand the ribcage.
What muscle connects the sternum to the zygomatic arch?
There is no muscle that connects the sternum to the zygomatic arch. The zygomatic arch is a part of the zygoma, a facial bone. The sternum is in the chest.
What muscle regulates inhalation and exhalation?
The diaphragm muscle.
What muscle attaches to the sternum?
intercoastals (body of sternum), Sternalis (manubrium of sternum), Sternocleidomastoid (manubrium of sternum), Pectoralis Major (body of sternum)
What muscle attaches to sternum?
Intercoastals

What is the name of the rib muscles that contribute to breathing?
Ribs are bones, but lungs contribute to breathing and they are a muscle organNo, your Lungs ARE NOT A MUSCLE. Your diaphragm is the main muscle in inhalation, which opens your lungs (works by creating a negative pressure in your lungs i.e. the pressure outside your chest cavity is more than the pressure in your lungs, causing air to enter your lungs).However, during forced inhalation and exhalation your intercostal muscles and rectus abdominus muslces play a part in exhalation (forcing air out). scalenes lift up your rib cage to allow maximum inhalation.
What step in ventilation requires muscle work?
The inhalation phase. During the inhalation phase, the diaphragm contracts and this requires energy expenditure. The exhalation phase, on the other hand, only involves passive muscle recoil of the diaphragm and does not require work or energy.
Which muscle is or are the most important muscle used in inspiration or inhalation?
