Question

During inhalation, _____muscles contract to elevate the ribs. During forced exhalation, ______muscles contract to depress the ribs

Answer 1

External intercostals contract to elevate the ribs during inhalation while internal intercostals contract to depress the ribs during forced exhalation.

Inhalation and exhalation constitute the process of respiration.

While inhalation is simply the act of breathing in, exhalation is the exact opposite, breathing out.

The intercostal muscles are muscles situated in between the ribs of an animal or a person. It is separated into:

• external intercostals which are responsible for elevating the ribs when they contract during inhalation and
• the intercostal muscles which play a role in depressing the ribs during exhalation.
