What else can I help you with?
What muscles are activated during normal quiet inspiration?
The Phrenic Nerve-Diaphragm and the External Intercostal Nerve-External intercostal muscles
What are the muscles involved in changing the volume of the thorax during breathing?
The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles are primarily involved in changing the thoracic volume during breathing. The diaphragm contracts during inhalation to increase thoracic volume, while the external intercostal muscles help lift and expand the rib cage.
What small muscles elevate the ribs during breathing?
External intercostal muscles are the ones between the ribs that help elevate them during inspiration.
What results from the contraction of diaphragm and external intercostal muscles?
an exhalation
How many external intercostal muscles are there?
There are 11 pairs of external intercostal muscles in humans. These muscles are located between the ribs and are involved in expanding the chest cavity during inhalation.
What happens to rib muscles when they relax?
The internal intercostal muscles relax and the external intercostal muscles contract, pulling the ribcage upwards and outwards.
What effect does contraction of external intercostal muscles have on thoriac volume and how is this accomplished?
both of them
Small inspiratory muscle between the ribs elevate the ribs?
External intercostal
What 2 muscles work together during inhalation?
The diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles.
Name the muscles that raise and lower the ribs in a fetal pig?
The external intercostal muscles raise the ribs during inhalation, while the internal intercostal muscles lower the ribs during exhalation in a fetal pig.
What muscle expand chest cavity upward during inspiration?
The diaphragm (a sheet of muscle underneath the ribcage) and intercostal muscles (located between your ribs).
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.
