Which muscle is innervated by the phrenic nerve?
Diaphragm
What is the central innervation of the diaphragm?
The diaphragm is mostly innervated by the phrenic nerve.
When nerve impulses pass to the diaphragm the diaphragm relaxes and exhalation occurs is this true or false?
False
The brainstem stimulates breathing on the basis of?
This is an automatic nerve flex and run by the autonomic nervous system.
The Nerve plexus that supplies the diaphragm and thus causes respiratory damage is the plexus?
It is the Cervical Plexus
What stimulates diaphragm?
The phrenic nerve
What stimulates the diaphragm?
The diaphragm is stimulated to contract and relax by the phrenic nerve, which originates from the cervical spine. This nerve sends signals to the diaphragm to contract, allowing it to move downward and create negative pressure in the chest cavity for inhalation, and then to relax for exhalation.
What is the major nerve stimulating the diaphragm?
While reading " Structure and Function of the Human Body" I believe the correct answer is the phrenic nerve. Hope this helps. the nerve that stimulates is the phrenic nerve but it arises from the cervical plexus
What nerve innervates the diaphragm causing it to contract?
Phrenic
Diaphragm contractions are regulated by what nerve?
The diaphragm's contractions are regulated by the phrenic nerve. A diaphragm are the muscle that inserts on the central tendon.
How does the diaphagm move?
The diaphragm is a muscle. When it is contracted (i.e., tightened) it creates a relative vacuum which sucks air into the lungs (inhalation) from the environment. When it is let loose, the air is pushed back out (thus exhaled). The phrenic nerve stimulates the diaphragm to contract.
Which muscle is innervated by the phrenic nerve?
Diaphragm
What nerve stimulates normal digestive activity?
Vagus nerve
What nerve carries impulses to the diaphragm?
phrenic nerve
What is the central innervation of the diaphragm?
The diaphragm is mostly innervated by the phrenic nerve.
Can nerve damage to the diaphragm be repaired?
no
What is does phrenic nerve serve?
diaphragm
