Details | |
Latin | musculus intercostalis intimus |
Origin | Infero-posterior border of each rib (above) |
Insertion | Supero-posterior border of the rib (below) |
intercostal arteries | |
intercostal nerves | |
Actions | Through adduction of upper ribs to the lower ribs the muscles narrow intercostal slits and diminish thorax volume, therefore the muscles represent expiratory muscles. |

The innermost intercostal muscle is a layer of intercostal muscles deep to the plane that contains the intercostal nerves and intercostal vessels and the internal intercostal muscles. These are divided into:
- transversus thoracis anteriorly
- lateral muscle slips laterally (which cross a single intercostal space)
- subcostalis posteriorly (which often cross more than one intercostal space)
