Identify Your Choice
My choice today is actually a group of muscles called the Intercostals.
Purpose
Our thoracic cage is made up of five groups of muscles including the Intercostals. These muscles play a crucial role in the respiratory system and are involved in the movement of the ribcage during breathing. There are three layers of intercostal muscles:
External Intercostal Muscles:
Internal Intercostal Muscles:
Innermost Intercostal Muscles:
Location
The intercostal muscles are a group of muscles located between the ribs in the thoracic region (chest).
