The name of the article is wrong. Intercostales externi is the Latin plural, therefore, it have to be named "Intercostales externi muscles" or in singular "Intercostalis externus muscle" --Uwe Gille 12:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. (Pluralized because the TA is pluralized.) --Arcadian 17:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of external intercostals

How about including external intercostals do 20% of normal breathing work, are thick at back - and hence, by the bucket analogy, pull ribs at back, hence open up rib cage? 129.180.166.53 (talk) 07:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
