单词 musculus diaphragma
释义 DictionarySeediaphragmMedicalSeeMOVEMENT OF RIB CAGE AND DIAPHRAGM DURING RESPIRATION: A. Inspiration: Air drawn into lungs; B. Expiration: Air forced out of lungs4. The dome-shaped skeletal muscle that separates the abdomen from the thoracic cavity with its convexity upward. It contracts to promote inhalation, flattening downward and permitting the lungs to expand. It relaxes to promote exhalation, rising to its dome-shaped position and compressing the lungs.

The origin of the diaphragm is the xiphoid process, the lower six costal cartilages, and the lumbar vertebrae. The diaphragm is directly superior to the liver, the stomach, the spleen, the adrenal glands, and the kidneys; the right side is slightly higher than the left. See: illustration; Boerhaave syndrome
