'Coastal field study through the medium of beach transects'

Diaphragm is a muscle that transects the thoracic and abdominal cavities and is the prime mover of inhalation. The word transection is used instead of 'underneath the lung'. Because there are several other structures found in that area.

A long-term study near the Hopkins Marine Station in Monterey, CA compared two transects from the 1930's and the 1990's and found the same anemones in the same spots.

State laws vary widely. Some will only allow it on secondary highways, and almost all only allow it if the highway needs to be crossed when the highway transects the same owner's property. Check with your local Higway Patrol before doing this.
