🗑

🗑

🗑
Contraction of posterior thoracic muscles of inspiration   Produces a lifting of the rib cage  
🗑
Clavicular breathing   A form of respiration in which a major source of thorax expansion comes from elevation of rib cage via contraction of neck accessory muscles, most notably sternocleidomastoid.  
🗑
Forced expiration achieved in two ways   Decrease front-to-back dimension by pulling down rib cage using muscles, squeezing their abdominal viscera which pushes diaphragm higher into thorax and decreases vertical dimension  
🗑

🗑
