Intercostal Muscles—Between the ribs are placed two sets of muscular fibres, an external and an internal, called the Intercostal Muscles, which by their action draw the ribs upwards. The fibres run in a diagonal direction from one rib to another, so that the greatest length may be given for their contraction without compromising too much of their power. And hence we can see that while the first rib is firm and im- movable, by contraction of these fibres the ribs must be raised, and by their relaxation they must be depressed. The exter- nal fibres run downwards and towards the middle line of the abdomen, while the internal run downwards and backwards. • 251. Abdominal Muscles—The principal muscles of the abdomen are large and thin expansions of muscular fibres, 250. Give the arrangement of fibres in the Intercostal Muscles. 251. What forms the principal part of the walls of the abdomen ?
