Abstract
Development of the gonometrical measuring method has allowed the respirator y movement of the lateral chest wall and the sternum to be investigated. Th e mobility of a single rib varies enormously in gradual transitions. There are distinct differences between species. For of a number of reasons, the c at can achieve more intense thoracic respiration than the dog.
