Forced expiration is caused by the contraction of the internal intercostals and the abdominal muscles. The internal intercostal muscles are between the ribs, located deep to the external intercostal muscles. The internal intercostals push the chest down further and the abdominal muscles push against the diaphragm. This helps force even more air out of the lungs than quiet expiration alone. 2, record 1, English, - forced%20expiration
