Diaphragm is a fibromuscular partition between the chest and the abdomen. It is part of the respiratory system in that it is one of the main muscles of respiration. When we inhale it contracts and moves downwards towards the abdomen, thus increasing the capacity of the chest and allowing the lungs to expand vertically. During exhalation it relaxes and compresses the lungs, helping in exhalation.

What is the large domed shaped muscle that separates the lungs from the abdomen?
The large dome-shaped muscle (not an organ) that separates the thoracic (chest) cavity from the abdominal cavity and aids in breathing is the diaphragm. Actually fibromuscular, the diaphragm is the main muscle that we use to inflate our lungs. It forms a partition between the two cavities, and creates a 'seal'. It allows the lungs to expand so we can take in and expel air. It is part of both the muscular and respiratory systems.
