    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.

The role of individual intercostal muscles and accessory muscles of respiration in moving the ribs is difficult to interpret despite many electromyographic studies.

    Action traditionally assigned based on attachments; appear to be largely proprioceptive in function.
