allows your ribs to move up and down when you breath
the intercostal muscles contract.these pull the ribcage upwards.so the chest increases in volume when we breath out the intercostal muscles relax which lowers the ribcage.the chest decreases in volume see the diagram below for help
The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs and they lift the diaphragm allowing oxygen to flow in and out of the lungs. Basically, they aid in breathing.
The Intercostals stabilize the rib cage and assist in respiration

The intercostals and the diaphragm.
The sternocleidomastoid muscles are the ones that flex when the intercostals are flexed. This will also cause the scalene muscles to flex.
No, interchondral external intercostals do not exist. The external intercostal muscles are located between adjacent ribs and are involved in respiratory movements. However, there is no specific structure known as interchondral external intercostals.
The diaphragm and the intercostals are muscles that help breathing. When you excerise they work harder because it is harder to breathe.
