Diaphragm site
The diaphragm is a large muscle located between the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cage. The diaphragm surrounds the top of the crystalline membrane and its center is attached to the pericardial membrane of the heart. The diaphragm covers the peritoneum. The diaphragm moves when the person breathes. The diaphragm descends down, leading to chest enlargements and leaving a vacuum through which the air enters the lungs. This is what happens in the inhalation process. In the exhale process, any air output from the lungs occurs in the diaphragm. This helps the lungs to shrink and contract. The air is released from the lungs and the amount of air in the lungs is not removed.
Diaphragm openings
- Esophageal: There are many arteries in the esophagus related to the gastric artery and arteries related to the liver, and surrounds the esophagus muscle fibers of the diaphragm and nerve fibers.
- The lower vena cava: The lower vena cava passes through the central aorta.
- The descending aorta: Through the descending aorta, the aorta passes through the abdomen through the chest and passes through the thoracic canal.
Nerve diaphragm
The nerves in the diaphragm transfer the signals to the diaphragm muscles before the contractions contract. These nerves (c5, c4, c3) are transmitted. The sensation is transmitted through the diaphragm and surrounding membranes. In the external area of the diaphragm, Which is located between the diaphragm and ribs to transfer the senses and signals, and the process of breathing, which is the process of inhalation and exhalation of the function of the main and main diaphragm as that when the contraction of the diaphragm and descent down is called the process of passion, in which the air is drawn into the lungs and Bitha air, and when the veil rises barrier to the higher air output from the lungs and discharged this process is called exhale.
Congenital malformations in the diaphragm
The barrier may have a congenital defect that creates an opening in the rib cage between the abdominal area and the chest area. This is called the diaphragm opening, which causes dysfunction of the diaphragm and lung problems due to the emergence of organs in the abdomen such as the stomach, spleen and liver to the area Chest, and in some cases this hernia causes apnea, and creates this problem with the person is a fetus, and is also a case of cases that may cause discomfort to the injured person at times.
