Now the muscles themselves, skeletal muscles don't do anything unless the nervous system tells them to do something. And when the nervous system tells them to do something, they contract. So, there are specialized neurons in the spinal cord, and then above the spinal cord, the region called the brainstem, which go to respiratory muscles, in particular for inspiration in the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles in the rib cage. And they contract.
