About this document

Thoracic Wall Muscle Functions and Anatomy by Neo Awang is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document summarizes the muscles of the thoracic wall, including their innervation, main actions, and attachments. It lists the serratus anterior muscle, serratus posterior inferior muscle, levator costarum muscle, external and internal intercostal muscles, subcostal muscle, and transversus thoracis muscle. It notes that while textbooks traditionally assign actions based on attachments, many of these muscles appear to serve a proprioceptive function rather than moving the ribs.
