Inspiration is initiated by:
1. the contraction of diaphragm which increases the volume of thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis.
2. the contraction of diaphragm which increases the volume of thoracic chamber in the dorso-ventral axis.
3. the contraction of external inter-costal muscles which increases the volume of the thoracic chamber in the dorso-ventral axis.
4. the contraction of external inter-costal muscles which increases the volume of the thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis.
