Understanding Subcostal Muscles and Their Importance for Respiratory Function

Subcostal refers to a type of muscle that is located in the lower part of the rib cage. These muscles are responsible for helping to move the ribs during breathing and other movements of the chest.

There are several subcostal muscles, including the:

* External intercostal muscles
* Internal intercostal muscles
* Subcostal muscles

These muscles work together to help the lungs expand and contract during breathing, and they also help to stabilize the rib cage and maintain proper posture.

Subcostal muscles are important for maintaining proper respiratory function and overall health. Weakness or dysfunction of these muscles can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues.
