Interoszteális

Interoszteális refers to the space between the ribs, specifically the intercostal spaces, which are the areas between the ribs where the lungs expand and contract during breathing. These spaces are crucial for the proper functioning of the respiratory system, as they allow the lungs to inflate and deflate, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The intercostal muscles, which are located in these spaces, play a vital role in breathing by contracting and relaxing to move the ribs and expand the chest cavity.

The term "interoszteális" is derived from the Latin words "inter," meaning between, and "costae," meaning ribs. The intercostal spaces are numbered from the top of the ribcage downwards, with the first space being the one between the first and second ribs, and so on. Each intercostal space contains a nerve, an artery, and a vein, which supply the intercostal muscles and other structures in the area.
