No. The Diaphragm allows you to take in more air and helps you to digest by pushing own on you abdomin when you inhale. It is the "Cheif" Breathing organ. If somehow by a miriacle, you were able to live, life would be incredibly tough and physical activity would be healivly limited.
On VERY rare cases, infants have lived without one.
But other than the incredibly rare case that you would live, no. Keep your Diaphram, unless you want to DIEaphram (Hahaha Organ Puns.)

∙ 12y agoYes. Unless you are hooked up to a respirator, your diaphragm actually pushes your lungs involuntary in and out. Have you ever got "the wind knocked out of you"? That is when your solar plexus (like the diaphragm) gets shocked and stops moving. You therefore can't move your lungs. So if you can't live without breathing, you ultimatley can't live without the diaphragm. Hope this helped... wrote it as quick as possible so you would have the answer!

The immediate effects of exercise on the Diaphragm and intercostals?
The diaphragm and the intercostals are muscles that help breathing. When you excerise they work harder because it is harder to breathe.
When the diaphragm moves up do you inhale?
No, as you inhale the diaphragm is contracting and pulling down, expanding the lungs. As you breathe out, the muscle relaxes and rises up again.
What is the action of the diaphragm that helps you breathe?
When you breathe in the diaphragm moves down. This increases the volume of the thorax (chest) and lungs, which reduces the pressure of air in the lungs. Air enters when the pressure in the lungs falls below that in the atmosphere. When you breathe out the diaphragm moves up, reducing the volume in the lungs and increasing the pressure. When the pressure in the lungs is greater than that of the atmosphere air leaves the lungs.
When you breathe in does the diaphragm do?
When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts. This makes the diaphragm move lower and increases the area in your lungs.
When you breath out which direction does your diaphragm go?
When you breathe out the diaphragm moves upwards to push the air out of the lungs. When you breathe in the diaphragm moves downwards to draw air into the lungs. When you breathe out your diaphragm contract and moves upwards towards your head. when you breathe in too much your diaphragm explodes
