What are the two sets of muscles running between the ribs called?
The external intercostal muscles run between the ribs. They are responsible for elevating the ribs during inhalation. The internal intercostal muscles are situated deeper and help with forced exhalation by depressing the ribs.
WHAT IS RIB MUSCLES?
There is no "rib muscle." Ribs are bones attached to the vertebral column in the back and the sternum anteriorly. There are muscles attached to the ribs - several, in fact. In between the ribs are the internal and external intercostal muscles, there are the pectoral muscles, the serratus anterior and serratus ventralis, the latissimus dorsi also attaches to the ribs. Internally, the diaphragm attaches to the inferior ribs. Many of the strap muscles of the back attach to the ribs. There are others as well.

Which muscles cover the ribs?
The intercostal muscles cover the ribs.
What part of the body is located behind your lungs?
Thoracic (chest) spine, ribs, shoulder blades and their muscles.
Which body part responsible for making the chest cavity smaller when you exhale?
the diaphragm, ribs, chest muscles, and sternum.
Name of muscles between ribs?
The intercostal muscles. Intercostal means "between ribs".
What is the definition of intercostals?
That is a good question. You have twelve intercostal nerves going between your ribs. They supply the intercostal muscles and carry back the sensations. You have the brachial plexus and lumbosacral plexuses. They are complicated as on today. But long back in evolution scale they were parallel. There complicated arrangement tells the the movement of muscle mass during evolution.
Where are inter coastal muscles?
They are the muscles between the ribs
The functions of the intercostal?
Intercostal muscles are several groups of muscles that run between the ribs, and help form and move the chest wall. There are three principal layers; * the external intercostal muscles, which aid in quiet and forced inhalation. They originate on ribs 1-11 and have their insertion on ribs 2-12. The external intercostals are responsible for the elevation of the ribs, and expanding the transverse dimensions of the thoracic cavity. Located around the the ribs * the internal intercostal muscles, which aid in forced expiration (quiet expiration is a passive process). They originate on ribs 1-11 and have their insertions on ribs 2-12. The internal intercostals are responsible for the depression of the ribs decreasing the transverse dimensions of the thoracic cavity. * the innermost intercostal muscle Both the external and internal muscles are innervated by the intercostal nerves (the ventral rami of thoracic spinal nerves), and are provided by the intercostal arteries and intercostal veins. Their fibers run in opposite directions.
Is the spleen behind or below the ribs?
The spleen is located behind the ribs, specifically in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen. It is nestled against the diaphragm and lies just beneath the 9th to 11th ribs. While it is protected by the rib cage, it is not directly below the ribs; rather, it is positioned more towards the back of the abdominal cavity.
What are abdominal muscles made of?
Abdominal muscles are trunk muscles that help to rotate and flex the spine. The abdominal muscles are composed of:Rectus abdominus: originates at the pelvis and inserts into the sternum as well as ribs 5-7. This muscle flexes the spine or assists in posteriorly (behind or in back of) tilting the pelvis.External obliques: one of the abdominal muscles responsible for rotation and flexion (position that is flexed relative to neutral or extension) of the spine. Developing external oblique strength is important for spinal stabilization against movement faults.Internal obliques: one of the abdominal muscles responsible for rotation and flexion of the spine. Developing internal oblique strength is important for spinal stabilization against movement faults.Transversus abdominus: an important spinal-stabilizing muscle
