thoracoabdominal hernia
thoracoabdominal hernia
That would be the thoracic diaphragm.
The thoracic cavity is the upper part of the torso and contains organs like the lungs and heart, while the abdominal cavity is the lower part. These two parts are separated by the diaphragm.
That part is called as diaphragm. You need to see the same in dissection hall in cadaver.
The Thoracic cavity (above the diaphragm) & the Abdominal cavity (below).
The muscle you are referring to is the diaphragm. It also separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
That is called the diaphragm.
It is called a Diaphragmatic Hernia or a Hiatus Hernia.
The epiglottis does not flutter. The part of the human body that is able to flutter is the thoracic diaphragm and these spasms are called hiccups.
The large muscle below the lungs that make them expand and bring in air is called the diaphragm. (dye-uh-fram). During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts, thus enlarging the thoracic cavity (the external intercostal muscles also participate in this enlargement). This reduces intra-thoracic pressure: In other words, enlarging the cavity creates suction that draws air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled by elastic recoil of the lung and the tissues lining the thoracic cavity in conjunction with the abdominal muscles, which act as an antagonist paired with the diaphragm's contraction.During exercise or stress or any other cause of labored breathing, air movement is assisted by scalenes, sternocleidomastoid, intercostal muscles, serratus posterior (inferior and superior), all the abdominal muscles, and maybe levator costorum (we still dont know their exact function).the diaphragm, the internal and external intercostal muscles and other accessory muscles such as sternocleidomastoid and others.
Muscles of Respiration: The main muscles of respiration are the Diaphragm, which forms the partition of the chest from the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles. Accessory muscles will also take part in helping with respiration during respiratory distress after severe exercise, respiratory obstruction, heart failure. The accessory muscles are, sternocleidomastoid, platysma, and the strap muscles of the neck.
