Costal margains move out during inspiration. 2. Position of diaphragm in general cardiac enlargement. Costal margin from ensiform to ninthrib moves toward median line. 3. Position of diaphragm in left-sided cardiac enlargement. Left costal margin is fixed ormoves in during inspiration. 4. Position of diaphragm in right-sided cardiac enlargement.

When the arch of the diaphragm is depressed, as in pleurisywith effusion, emphysema, and empyema, the line of traction and theline of the muscular fibers of the diaphragm correspond more closely,so that the diaphragm is able to use its full force against the intercostalmuscles, with the result that the costal b
