∙ 13y agoThe diaphragm is a dome shaped muscle to which the lungs are attached. When the diaphragm contracts, it flattens and pulls down the lower borders of the lungs. This causes the intrapulmonary volume of the lungs to increase. When the volume of the lungs increases, the pressure within the lungs decreases and so air flows in. When the diaphragm relaxes it resumes its dome shaped and compresses the lungs increasing the pressure inside them and so air flows out.
That's the extended version. The function of the diaphragm is to help you breathe.

What is the job of the diaphragm in the human body?
the diaphragm helps hold air in and out it is located right below your ribcage. when you sing, it pulses and allows your air to hold for a long time without a breath. The diaphragm is a muscle starting in your back and running to your front below your ribcage. It completely separates the area within your ribcage from the area below. However it does have sealed portals through which vessels and other structures pass. By expanding your diaphragm -- your abdomen will rise because the diaphragm is expanding downward into the abdominal area -- you can create a partial vacuum which helps to draw air into your lungs. Conversely, by relaxing your diaphragm you let air out of your lungs.
