➡️ Accessory Muscles of Breathing
These are the muscles of the neck, back, and abdomen that, in some cases, can assist the diaphragm with breathing.

Keep in mind that it is abnormal for these muscles to be used during normal breathing. In fact, when these muscles are in use, it indicates that the patient has an increased work of breathing and may be in some form of respiratory distress.

➡️ The accessory muscles of breathing include:
▪Abdominal muscles
▪Internal intercostals
▪Sternocleidomastoid
▪Scalene
▪Pectoralis major

➡️ Recap:
The accessory muscles that were mentioned are activated in order to assist the diaphragm with breathing whenever a patient is in respiratory distress. They should not be used during normal, quiet breathing.
