The intercostals are located?

The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs. They play important roles in breathing. There are two sets of intercostal muscles, external and internal. The external intercostals contract during normal inspiration, causing the rib cage to expand out and up and thus increase the volume of the chest cavity. The internal intercostals are used during forced expiration only. When they contract, the rib cage pulled down and together, shrinking the volume of the chest cavity.
