Muscles of Respiration: The main muscles of respiration are the Diaphragm, which forms the partition of the chest from the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles.
Accessory muscles will also take part in helping with respiration during respiratory distress after severe exercise, respiratory obstruction, heart failure. The accessory muscles are, sternocleidomastoid, platysma, and the strap muscles of the neck.

As said in Wikipedia:
"the thoracic diaphragm, or simply the diaphragm, is a sheet of internal muscle that extends across the bottom of the rib cage. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (heart, lungs & ribs) from the abdominal cavity and performs an important function in respiration"

∙ 8y agoThe muscle blow the lungs that is very important to the respiratory system is the diaphragm. When the diaphragm contracts, it increases the volume of the thoracic cavity, and air is pulled into your lungs as you inhale. When it relaxes, the thoracic cavity's volume decreases, and you exhale.
