Respiratory Anatomy
Muscles of Inspiration
• Inspiration is a graded activity
– quiet
– forced
• How does inspiration take place?
– All Muscular
– Thorax expansion (vertical expansion)-
Diaphragm
Primary Muscle of Inspiration• Diaphragm:
– Completely separates abdominal and thoracic cavities
– Large inverted bowl
– Attach at inferior boundary of rib cage, xiphoid process & posterior vertebral column
– Intermediate region- central tendon (aponeurosis)
– Muscle contracts muscle fibers shorten diaphragm pulls central tendon down & forward

Diaphragm (Superficial)
Primary Muscle of Inspiration
• Diaphragm:
– Innervation (nerves):
• phrenic nerves (from cervical plexus; C3, C4,
C5)
• primary control by the autonomic nervous
system (no choice)
• voluntary control (holding breath)
• bilateral innervation
Accessory Muscles of Inspiration
• Anterior Thoracic– External intercostals– Interchondral portion, internal intercostals
• Posterior Thoracic– Levatores costarum (brevis & longis)– Serratus posterior superior
• Muscles of Neck– Sternocleidomastoid– Scalenus– Trapezius
Accessory Muscles of Inspiration
• Muscles of the Thorax, Back, and Upper limb
–Pectoralis major
–Pectoralis minor
–Serratus anterior
–Subclavius
Accessory: External Intercostals
• Run from lower border of one rib to the upper border of the rib below.
• Fills the outside of the 11 spaces between the ribs (spareribs)
• Pull all lower ribs toward the first rib-elevates rib cage
• Second most important muscle of inspiration
• Function to increase cavity size
• Account for the A-P dimensional change in thorax
Accessory: Internal Intercostal (Interchondral Portion)
• Mostly muscle of expiration BUT…
• Chondral portion (parasternal) active
during forced inspiration
• Protective barrier for lungs & heart

Accessory: Levator Costarum & Serratus Posterior Superior
LevatoresCostarum Serratus Posterior
SuperiorLatissimus Dorsi
Accessory: Levator Costarum• Rib elevators
• Series of 12 small muscles
• Each insert into rib just below the vertebrae from which it originates
• Pulls up on ribs-weak (size, points of insertion gives poor leverage)– Brevis- “brief” originate transverse process of C7-T11
(12 total) (Inserts into next rib down)
– Longis- originate transverse process of T7-T11 (by passes (by passes next rib down to insert into 2nd rib down from insertion)next rib down to insert into 2nd rib down from insertion)
• Both course obliquely down & out
Accessory: Serratus Posterior Superior
• Flat muscles, slanting down from neck
• Originate from spinous process of C7 & T1-T3 and insert into 2nd-5th ribs
• Course down & laterally
• Larger than levatores, better angle of insertion
• Lifts upper ribs
• Stabilizes thorax for pull of external intercostals
Accessory: Latissimus Dorsi
• Doubted involvement in respiration
• Large flat muscle from upper arm to
insert into lower back vertebrae
• Some fibers insert into lower ribs
• humerous movement contracts rib fibers
& assists in expanding lower thorax
Accessory: Levator Costarum & Serratus Posterior Superior & Inferior

Accessory Neck Muscles: Sternocleidomastoid
• Broad, thick muscle
• Lies superficially in the lateral part of neck
• Two head origination: anterior surface of manubrium sternum, sternal end of clavicle
• Extends posteriorly & superiorly to insert in skull behind ear (mastoid process & temporal bone)
• Function: Balance head & elevate sternum and raise anterior rib cage
Accessory: Sternocleidomastoid

Scaleni (Middle)
Subclavius
Accessory: Scaleni
• Originate from cervical vertebrae & insert
into 1st and 2nd ribs
• Head balance, major force for raising &
stabilizing the upper chest (ribs) of
inhalation
• Facilitate neck rotation, potential to increase
superior-inferior dimensions of thorax
Accessory: Upper Arm & Shoulder: Pectoralis Major
• Major- Fan-shaped muscle
• Originates from 2 heads: sternal head (attached to
sternum); Clavicular head (attached to front of
clavical)
• Inserts into the humerous of the upper arm
• When fixed it assists in drawing sternum & ribs
upward
• Increases transverse dimension of rib cage
Accessory: Upper Arm & Shoulder: Pectoralis Minor
• Fan shaped
• Lies deep to the pectoralis major
• Courses superiorly & laterally
• Originates from scapula; inserts into 2nd-5th
ribs
• Function is to elevate the rib cage
Accessory: Serratus Anterior
• Large; originates from scapula & inserts into
the upper nine ribs
• Elevates ribs
• Serratus= “sawlike”
• Coursing upward

SerratusAnterior
Accessory: Subclavius
• Courses under the clavicle obliquely &
medially
• Originates from inferior margin of the
clavicle & inserts into superior surface of the
first rib
• Small muscle
• Elevate first rib during inspiration
Accessory: Subclavius
Subclavius
Accessory: Trapezius
• Massive muscle; Upper back & neck
• Originating from spinous process of C2 to T12 and insert into scapula and superior surface of clavicle
• Function to elongate the neck and head control
• Respiratory function; stability & balance for respiratory system
Accessory: Trapezius
