I believe what you are asking is pectorals aka pecs, they're your chest muscles
The answer above was totally incorrect. He specifically asked if rib cage muscles had a certain scientific name, if he was talking about chest, I'm sure he would have used the word.
Oblique External Muscle. Is what you are looking for. It is a layer of tissue/muscle that protects the rib cages and the far sides of the abdomens. It can be improved in size and strength by doing certain workouts.
Glad I could help.
What else can I help you with?
Does exhalation occur when the diaphragm and rib cage muscles relax?
Yes, exhalation occurs when the diaphragm and muscles of the rib cage relax.
What are some effective rib cage muscles workout exercises to strengthen and tone the muscles in that area?
Some effective rib cage muscles workout exercises include dumbbell pullovers, cable twists, and side bends. These exercises can help strengthen and tone the muscles in the rib cage area.
How are the rib cage made?
The rib cage is made of bones with intercostal muscles allowing them to expand and contract when breathing
What are the heart and the lungs protected by?
The heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage
When the diaphragm contracts what contract and lift the rib cage?
You have small bands of muscles between the ribs in your rib cage (called external intercostal muscles) that contract when you inhale and pull your ribs up. ?These are semi-active during regular breathing. ?When you are exercising and need to breathe deep and fast, other muscles also jump in and help your rib cage expand, including your serratus anterior, scalene muscles, and sternocleidomastaoid muscles.But you are right in saying that the diaphragm does not directly lift the rib cage. ?During normal relaxed breathing, the rib cage mostly just expands on its own (the diaphragm causes your lungs to increase in volume, so the ribs just passively lift up to allow the lungs to expand). ?Only during exercise do your muscles (called accessory muscles of respiration) really do anything to your rib cage.
What are the functions of the muscle below the rib cage?
The muscles below the rib cage help with breathing, posture, and supporting the organs in the abdominal cavity.

What muscles depress the rib cage?
The center layer of the three intercostal muscles, these muscles begin from the costal depression of the rib above and supplement into the predominant boundary of the rib underneath. They help to fall the lung during lapse.
What tighten and get shorter when you inhale but relax and get longer when you exhale?
The diaphragm and intercostal muscles tighten and contract during inhalation, causing the rib cage to lift and expand, resulting in a shorter length. During exhalation, these muscles relax, allowing the rib cage to lower and return to its longer length.
How many bones are in human rib cage?
A typical human rib cage consists of 24 ribs, the sternum (with xiphoid process), costal cartilages, and the 12 thoracic vertebrae.
