Origin of Diaphragm (Costal)
7th-12th ribs (inner surface, lower margin of costal arch)
Origin of Diaphragm (Lumbar)
Medial Part: L1-L3 vertebral bodies, intervertebral disks, and anterior longitudinal ligament as right and left crura.
Origin of Diaphragm (Sternal)
Xiphoid Process (posterior surface)
Insertion of Diaphragm
Central Tendon
Action of Diaphragm
Primary muscle for respiration (diaphragmatic/thoracic breathing)
Compresses Abdominal Viscera
Origin of Anterior Scalene
C3-C6 (transverse process, anterior tubercle)
Origin of Middle Scalene
C1-C2 (transverse processes)
C3-C7 (transverse processes, posterior tubercle)
Origin of Posterior Scalene
C5-C7 (transverse processes, posterior tubercles)
Insertion of Anterior Scalene
1st rib (anterior scalene tubercle)
Insertion of Middle Scalene
1st rib (posterior to groove for subclavian artery)
Insertion of Posterior Scalene
2nd rib (outer surface)
Action of the Scalene Muscles
With ribs mobile: Elevates upper ribs (inspiration)
With ribs fixed: Flexes cervical spine to same side (unilaterally)
Flexes neck (bilaterally)
Origin of External Intercostal
Lower margin of rib to upper margin of lower next rib
Courses obliquely forward and DOWNWARD from costal tubercle to condor-osseus junction

Support Intercostal Spaces
Stabilize Chest Wall
Origin of Internal Intercostal
Lower margin of rib to upper margin of lower next rib
Courses obliquely forward and UPWARD from costal angle to sternum
Insertion of Internal Intercostal
Lower margin of rib to upper margin of lower next rib

Origin of Innermost Intercostal
Lower margin of rib to upper margin of lower next rib
Courses obliquely forward and UPWARD from costal angle to sternum
Insertion of Innermost Intercostal
Lower margin of rib to upper margin of lower next rib
Courses obliquely forward and UPWARD from costal angle to sternum
Action of Intermost Intercostal
