The diaphragm is both a voluntary and involuntary muscle. That means that it works with and without your having to think about it. It works just like any other muscle, in that electrical impulses are sent from the brain down the spinal cord into nerves connected to it. The special thing about it, is that those signals come from two different places in the brain.
