Sounds weird, right?
Yes, it did to me too, when I read it in anatomy lab. The scalenus is a muscle of inspiration. Er, well, it's a very nice muscle, but I'm not sure I really feel particularly inspired by it. My lab partners and I had a little laugh over it and then went on. The next muscle on the list was the serratus dorsalis cranialis. But this time, the wording was different. Something to the effect of "this muscle aids in inspiration".
Lightbulb turned on.
Ohhhh. Inspiration as in inhalation.
Bugger. That was dumb of me.
