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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of the intercostals?
The Intercostals stabilize the rib cage and assist in respiration
What muscle flexes when Intercostals are flexed?
The sternocleidomastoid muscles are the ones that flex when the intercostals are flexed. This will also cause the scalene muscles to flex.
What is the Diaphragm's synergist muscles?
intercostals
What are in the thoracic cavity?
The intercostals and the diaphragm.
Do interchondral external intercostals exist?
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 immediate effects of exercise on the Diaphragm and intercostals?
The diaphragm and the intercostals are muscles that help breathing. When you excerise they work harder because it is harder to breathe.
Are the external and internal intercostals muscles?
Yes.
What moves the ribcage?
external and internal intercostals
What muscles are in the thoracic cavity?
The intercostals and the diaphragm.
What respiratory group stimulates the intercostals?
Dorsal
What are the actions from the constructions in respiratory muscles?
Muscles of inspiration include: diaphragm, scalenes, pectoralis minor, and external intercostals. The muscles of expiration include: abdominals and internal intercostals.
Expiratory movements are produced by contraction of the?
internal intercostals
