Intercostal Muscles

The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs. There are two kinds of intercotal muscles: internal and external. The intercostal muscles are controlled by the medulla.

The internal intercostal muscles are located on the inside of the ribs and extend from the front of the ribs, around back and past the bend in the ribs.

The external intercostal muscles are located on the outside of the ribs, and wraparound the back of the ribs.
