The serratus posterior inferior muscle ( Latin for "rear lower saw muscle" or "rear lower saw tooth muscle") - referred to in animal anatomy as the serratus dorsalis caudalis muscle - is a skeletal muscle of the thorax . It arises from the eleventh thoracic to third lumbar vertebrae and has four points on the ninth to twelfth rib . In the human body's muscle fibers run from the originating obliquely laterally and cranially to the approach .
The contraction of the muscle pulls the lower ribs dorsally and caudally and thus counteracts a narrowing of the lower thorax and thus supports inspiration. Like the serratus posterior superior muscle, it is functionally part of the auxiliary inspiratory muscles . Some textbooks also see an expiratory effect.
