Diaphragm
A thin, dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities and plays a crucial role in respiration.
Key Facts
- Contraction of the diaphragm creates negative pressure to draw air into the lungs.
- It acts as a physical barrier between the chest and abdominal organs.
- Defects in this muscle can lead to life-threatening herniation of abdominal contents.
- Surgical repair carries inherent risks due to its essential role in breathing.
