Which Muscles are Located Between the Ribs and Help Move

Question

Which muscles are located between the ribs and help move the rib cage during breathing?
A) Diaphragm
B) Sternocleidomastoid
C) Serratus anterior
D) Intercostal muscles

Accepted Answer

The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs and are responsible for moving the rib cage during breathing. The diaphragm also plays a significant role in breathing, but it is located beneath the ribs, not between them. The sternocleidomastoid and serratus anterior muscles are not directly involved in breathing.
