Diaphragm is just a name for something that basically looks a bit like a drumskin, so there are plenty of different diaphragms that are used in very different ways.

In human anatomy, the most well known diaphragm is a muscular membrane that divides the chest cavity from the abdomen. Tightening the diaphragm causes your chest to expand and allows you to breathe in. Relaxing the diaphragm causes you to breathe out.

The second most well known diaphragm is a barrier based contraceptive for female use.

When inserted and used correctly, it prevents pregnancy by keeping the sperm from getting to where fertilization can take place.

Then there are diaphragm pumps, diaphragms in power assisted brakes etc etc.
