Intercostal muscles Intercostal muscles are muscle groups that are situated in between the ribs that create and move the chest wall. The muscles are broken down into three layers, and are primarily used to assist with the breathing process.hey raise the ribs and expand the chest cavity, and originate from ribs one through 11, with insertion from ribs two to 12. The internal intercostal muscles are responsible for forced exhalation. They depress the ribs and decrease space in the chest cavity.

Intercostal Muscle Strain The intercostal muscles consists of several groups of muscles ((internal and external intercostals and subcostal and transverse thoracic muscles) which are located between the ribs and function to move and stabilise the chest wall. Grade I Strain: This is a mild strain and only some muscle fibers have been damaged. 2  Healing occurs within two to three weeks. 3  Grade II Strain: This is a moderate strain with more extensive damage to muscle fibers, but the muscle is not completely ruptured.

- This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

Intercostal Muscles The intercostal muscles contract during inhalation or deep inspiration to support breathing. The external intercostal muscles contract and elevate the ribs during inspiration while the internal and subcostal (innermost) muscles lower your ribs during forced exhalation.

- During forced expiration, the internal intercostal muscles (excluding the interchondral part) contract and depress the rib cage. The abdominal muscles also aid expiration because, when they contract, they force abdominal organs up against the diaphragm and further decrease the volume of the thorax.

Breathing Movements Breathing consists of two phases, inspiration and expiration. During inspiration, the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic (chest) cavity, and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below atmospheric pressure.

Intercostal Neuralgia Pain Intercostal neuralgia is a rare disorder which is often initially misdiagnosed due to the ambiguity of some of the symptoms. Between your ribs are muscles that contract when you inhale. These are called intercostals muscles. Intercostal neuralgia is pain in these muscles, often spasmodic in nature. The Facts Intercostal neuralgia is caused by nerve compression in the thoracic/abdominal area (ribcage area). Various conditions can cause this pinched nerve like: a rupture in abdominal tissue, a distended abdomen, scar tissue around the nerve, overused muscles in the abdomen and other conditions of the musculoskeletal system, like an irregular curvature of the vertebrae or having one leg shorter than the other.

The Muscles of the Thoracic Cage The Muscles of the Thoracic Cage. There are five muscles that make up the thoracic cage; the intercostals (external, internal and innermost), subcostals, and transversus thoracis. These muscles act to change the volume of the thoracic cavity during respiration. There are some other muscles that do not comprise the thoracic wall, but do attach to it.

Anatomy The intercostal muscles are a group of 22 pairs of tiny muscles found between the ribs. These muscles play a vital role in the movement of the chest during breathing. They also help to solidify the thoracic region and protect the lungs. The 22 pairs of intercostal muscles are broken down into two groups: 11 pairs of internal intercostals and 11 pairs of external intercostals....

- In total, there are eleven muscles that control or contribute to the act of respiration. The main muscle for respiratory inhalation is the diaphragm, which is located deep w … ithin the abdominal cavity. When the diaphragm contracts it opens more space within the chest which allows the lungs to fill with air.f you're exercising or having trouble breathing, your intercostal muscles (the ones between your ribs) can also help with this. There are three layers of intercostal muscles pointing in different directions. When you exhale, the elasticity of your lung alveoli and your chest wall make this an almost passive motion.

Intercostal Muscle Sprain The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs. There are eleven intercostal muscles that are located on each side of the rib cage. They function to move and stabilize the chest wall. Intercostal muscles connect one rib to another and aid in breathing by expanding and contracting the ribs effectively.hen the muscles contract, the ribs move up, and when the muscles relax, they moves down. When breathing, these muscles force air in and out of the chest. A strenuous activity that exerts excessive force on the rib cage can cause intercostal muscle sprains.

More about the breathing muscles More about the breathing muscles. The left side of figure 1 shows the muscles involved with taking a breath in (inspiration). As previously mentioned, the diaphragm is the main muscle responsible for this.There are also muscles of the neck, which are supplied by the cervical nerves, which assist breathing in. The rib muscles or intercostals also work in co-operation with the diaphragm.n general breathing out is passive and requires no muscle effort, but occasionally we need to exhale forcefully, for example when coughing, throat clearing, shouting or blowing our nose. It is during these times of forceful breathing out that the stomach and rib (intercostal) muscles are used.

Internal intercostal muscles A cutout of the thoracic wall showing the three layers of intercostal muscle - from the left wall. Each muscle arises from the ridge on the inner surface of a rib, as well as from the corresponding costal cartilage, and is inserted into the inferior border of the rib above. The internal intercostals are innervated by the intercostal nerve.

- 1 External intercostal muscles: course from the lower border of a rib ventrocaudally to the upper border of the rib below. Ventrally they are bordered by the external thoracic fascia.  Internal intercostal muscles: originate at the upper border of a rib and insert ventrocranially at the lower border of the rib above.

- Recognizing Intercostal Retractions. Your intercostal muscles are attached to your ribs, and they normally contract and move your ribs up when you breathe in air. At the same time, your diaphragm drops lower, and your lungs fill with air. When you have a partial blockage in your upper airway or the small airways in your lungs, air cannot flow freely and the pressure in this part of your body decreases. As a result, your intercostal muscles are sucked in sharply inside your rib cage. These movements are called retractions. Intercostal retractions occur when the muscles between your ribs are pulled inward. This is also called intercostal recession. These movements indicate that something is blocking your airway.

Intercostal retractions Stiff tissue called cartilage attaches your ribs to the breast bone (sternum). The intercostal muscles are the muscles between the ribs. During breathing, these muscles normally tighten and pull the rib cage up. Your chest expands and the lungs fill with air.
