Lexicon: External Intercostal Muscles

10 February 2025 09:18 AM - By Josh

The External Intercostal Muscles aid in inhalation; when contracted, they pull the ribs up and out. They originate from the inferior of one rib and insert into the superior of the rib immediately below. The anterior rami of spinal nerves from T1-T11 innervate the External Intercostal Muscles.
