What are the muscles of the thorax?
- Diaphragm
2. Intercostals
Diaphragm
main muscle of respiration

2. Expiration: diaphragm relaxes, thoracic cavity decreases in size
attachments: (O) inside body wall and ribs (I) central tendon
Intercostals
respiratory muscles
actions:
1. External Intercostals: elevates ribs, inspiration
2. Internal Intercostals: depresses ribs, expiration (forced)
attachments: ribs
