The muscles of the chest are mostly muscles that start from the ribs and terminate either in the ribs at different levels or in the surrounding anatomical structures (especially the bones). There are muscles that assist in the movement of the upper extremity as well as muscles that assist in inspiration and expiration. Muscles located between the ribs are innervated by intercostal nerves, while other large muscles located further above these muscles are innervated by branches of the brachial plexus.The diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities, is also responsible for respiratory movements. In addition to respiratory it has functions such as micturition, defecation, labor, and decreasing intrathoracic pressure and increasing intraabdominal pressure. Innervated by the phrenic nerve, the muscle has passages between its fibers that allow the passage of organs between the thorax and the abdominal cavity.The breast, which is located between the fasciae on the anterior chest wall, is important for women as a secondary sex character and for feeding newborns. It is important to know the structure and lymphatic drainage of the breast, especially in terms of breast cancers, which are very common among women in society.
