These muscles work together to control movements of the wrist, hand, and fingers, enabling actions such as gripping, lifting, rotating the forearm, and performing fine motor tasks. Intercostal retractions, which are the inward drawing of the skin between the ribs during inhalation, indicate increased work of breathing and are a key finding in respiratory distress assessment.

Skeletal muscle fibers differ dramatically from other tissues of the body due to their highly specialized functions. Many of the organelles that make up muscle fibers are unique to this type of cell. The cells of cardiac muscle are branched X or Y shaped cells tightly connected together by special junctions called intercalated disks. Intercalated disks are made up of fingerlike projections from two neighboring cells that interlock and provide a strong bond between the cells. The branched structure and intercalated disks allow the muscle cells to resist high blood pressures and the strain of pumping blood throughout a lifetime. These features also help to spread electrochemical signals quickly from cell to cell so that the heart can beat as a unit.
