interkostalmuskulaturen
Interkostalmuskulaturen, also known as the intercostal muscles, are a group of muscles located between the ribs (costae) that play a crucial role in the mechanics of respiration. These muscles facilitate the expansion and contraction of the thoracic cavity, enabling effective inhalation and exhalation.

These muscles are innervated by the intercostal nerves, which originate from the thoracic spinal nerves (T1
The intercostal muscles are vital for maintaining proper respiratory function and are involved in various respiratory
Overall, the interkostalmuskulaturen are essential components of the respiratory musculature, facilitating lung expansion and protecting the
