    Plate V. Plate III. Fig. ii. INNES. ( 38 ) DUMAS. ALBINUS. DOUGLAS, WINSLOW. COWPER. Inserted, tendinous, into the fore part of the fecond, third, and fometimes the fourth lumbar vertebrae. The fecond is Inserted, tendinous and flefhy, into the fourth lumbar vertebra, fometimes into the third, efpecially on the right fide. The third is Inserted, flefhy, into the fifth lumbar vertebra. The fourtli is Inserted into the root of the tranfverfe procefs of the fourth lumbar vertebra. The fibres afcend obliquely from their feveral inlertions, and are loft in the aponeurotic plane.* In the middle of this plane, a little to the right of the anterior part of the Hope; near the fmall portion of the diaphragm is a round opening, which tranfmits the trunk of the vena cava. The border, or circumference of this opening, is formed by an ob- lique and fucceflive intermixture of tendinous fibres, which are beautifully fliovvn in Albinus’s plates. The fmall engravings in Plate I, will give fome idea of them. Use. It is the principal agent of refpiration. In infpiration, its fuperior furface is contracted, and becomes more plain, whereby the cavity of the thorax is enlarged, to give more liberty to the lungs to receive air; and the vifcera of the abdomen are comprelfed for the diftribution of chyle. In expiration, its furface is convex towards the thorax, whereby its cavity is leffened, and the air expelled out of the lungs, &c. 164- Inter cost ales Intercostales Inter cost ales Inter cost ales Interni.

Thefe are flefhy planes of different breadths and very thin, fituated more or lefs obliquely, on the tides of the ribs. They are Inserted into the upper part of the ribs, near their junction with the tranfverfe procefs of the vertebras. They run up obliquely over one rib, and are Inserted into that above it. Use.
