CHAPTER # 10(b)


Muscles of the Thorax

• Muscles of respiration

• External intercostals—more superficial muscles that elevate ribs for inspiration

• Internal intercostals—deeper muscles that aid forced expiration

• Diaphragm

• Partition between thoracic and abdominal cavities

• Most important muscle in inspiration

• Innervated by phrenic nerves

Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

• Four paired muscles; their fasciae and aponeuroses form the lateral and anterior abdominal wall

• Internal obliques

• External obliques

• Transversus abdominis

• Rectus abdominis

• Fascicles of these muscles run at angles to one another, providing added strength

• All are innervated by intercostal nerves

• Actions of these muscles

• Lateral flexion and rotation of the trunk

• Help promote urination, defecation, childbirth, vomiting, coughing, and screaming

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor

• Pelvic floor (pelvic diaphragm) is composed of two paired muscles

• Levator ani

• Coccygeus

• Both are innervated by sacral nerves


Muscles of the Pelvic Floor

• Functions of the pelvic diaphragm

• Seals the inferior outlet of the pelvis

• Supports pelvic organs

• Lifts pelvic floor to help release feces

• Resists increased intra-abdominal pressure


Muscles of the Perineum

• Urogenital diaphragm

• Anterior half of perineum, inferior to pelvic floor

• Deep transverse perineal muscle

• External urethral sphincter (voluntary control of urination)

PLAY A&P Flix™: Muscles that act on the shoulder joint and humerus: An overview (a)

Superficial Muscles of the Thorax

• Most are extrinsic shoulder muscles

• Act in combination to fix the shoulder girdle (mostly the scapula) and move it to increase range of arm movements

• Actions include elevation, depression, rotation, lateral and medial movements, protraction, and retraction

• Two groups of muscles: anterior and posterior



• Anterior extrinsic shoulder muscles

• Pectoralis minor

• Serratus anterior

• Subclavius

• (Pectoralis major considered later with muscles that act on the humerus)
