Diaphragm (Sole Breathing Muscle)
■■■■■
The memory that the diaphragm is almost the sole muscle responsible for breathing, overlooking other muscles involved.
●
What People Remember
People often remember the diaphragm as the *only* muscle primarily responsible for breathing.
◉
What's Actually True
While the diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration, intercostal muscles (between the ribs) and various accessory muscles in the neck and abdomen also play significant roles in breathing, especially during exertion.
