∙ 14y agointercostal muscles maybe?? The only muscle that is required for resting breathing is the diaphragm but yes during forced respiration (exercise) the intercostals are needed.

Your diaphragm moves down causing a a reduction in pressure in the chest cavity and thereby allowing the lungs to draw in air.

What sheet of muscles in your body cavity helps you during breathing process?
These would be the abdominal muscles.
If you damaged your external intercostal muscles which process would be seriously impaired?
Breathing is the process that would be adversely affected, as these muscles contract and relax when you breathe in and out.
What sheet of muscles in your body cavity helps you during the breathing process?
Diaphragm
What are muscles used for?
Muscles are used for picking things up, breathing, seeing, and/or doing a physical activity, such as walking.
Function of ribs and diaphragm in the breathing process?
Ribs are for protection i think and diaphragm is the muscle controlling inhaling and exhaling. Also: the rib muscles can help the breathing process, which is useful when the diaphragm is weak, constricted, or to get an extra-big breath. Breathing from the diaphragm makes the belly move in and out as the lungs extend downwards. Breathing from the rib muscles makes the chest expand and rise.
What muscles are used for negative pressure breathing?
external intercostals and the diaphragm
What muscle controls breathing?
The diaphragm, the external intercostal and the interchondral portion of the internal intercostal muscles are the main muscles that control breathing. Other muscles are sometimes used, but only if the person has a breathing disorder or if the body needs energy very quickly.
What are the muscles involved in quiet and heavy breathing?
These are diaphragm and externa intercostal muscles in quiet breathing and sternocliedomastoid ,sclene muscles,anterior serrati in heavy breathing
What muscles might be used to assist breathing if a person was experiencing an asthma attack?
1. diaphragm 2. external intercostal muscles 3. internal intercostal muscles (only in forceful exhalation such as coughing not relaxed breathing)
What is the diaphragm muscle and the chest muscles are used for?
Breathing. These muscles are used to change the pressure in the chest so air can flow in and out of the lungs (on inspiration and expiration).
What are the different organs that are related to the breathing process?
The lungs (and the pathways to outside), the chest wall, and the diaphragm. The brain controls the process and the nerves control the muscles.
When the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles contract the lungs will experience what?
Inspiration - the process of breathing in. The lungs expand and take in air.
