Is the diaphragm dorsal to the stomach?

Answer 1

Diaphragm is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle that extends across the bottom of the rib cage. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (heart, lungs & ribs) from the abdominal cavity and performs an important function in respiration: as the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases and air is drawn into the lungs.

Answer 2

The diaphragm is a muscle that lies across the bottom of the rib cage. The stomach is located inferior, not superior, to the diaphragm.
