The muscles located between the ribs are called intercostal muscles. There are three layers of these muscles: external intercostals, internal intercostals, and innermost intercostals. They play a crucial role in the mechanics of breathing by helping to expand and contract the rib cage during inhalation and exhalation. These muscles also assist in stabilizing the chest wall.
