| Details | |
| Origin | Infero-posterior border of each rib (above) |
| Insertion | Supero-posterior border of the rib (below) |
| Artery | Intercostal arteries |
| Nerve | Intercostal nerves |
| Actions | Through adduction of upper ribs to the lower ribs the muscles narrow intercostal slits and diminish thorax volume, therefore the muscles represent expiratory muscles. |
| Identifiers | |
| Latin | musculus intercostalis intimus |

| Anatomical terms of muscle | |
The innermost intercostal muscle is a layer of intercostal muscles.[1] It may also be called the intima of the internal intercostal muscles.[2] It is the deepest muscular layer of the thorax,[3] with muscle fibres running vertically (in parallel with the internal intercostal muscles).[2] It is present only in the middle of each intercostal space, and often not present higher up the rib cage.[3] It lies deep to the plane that contains the intercostal nerves and intercostal vessels, and the internal intercostal muscles.[3][4] The diaphragm is continuous with the innermost intercostal muscle.[5]
