What else can I help you with?
What are the attachments of the parietal pericardium of the heart of a fetal pig?
In a fetal pig, the parietal pericardium attaches to the diaphragm, sternum, and pleura of the lungs. These attachments help to stabilize the heart within the thoracic cavity and maintain its position during development.
What major cavity is superior to the diaphragm?
The thoracic cavity is superior to the diaphragm. It is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm and contains the heart and lungs.
What structure on a microscope controls the amount of light that passes through the specimen?
The Diaphragm or diaphragm control lever regulates the amount of light passing through the slide specimen on the microscope stage.
What divides the aorta into a superior thoracic aorta and an inferior abdominal aorta?
The diaphragm divides the aorta into a superior thoracic aorta above the diaphragm and an inferior abdominal aorta below the diaphragm.
The heart is located above what?
The heart is located above the diaphragm and slightly left of the center of the chest, between the lungs.
Which two statement describe how the diaphragm works?
the chest rises the diaphragm curves upward air rushes in the chest moves downward the diaphragm flattens air rushes out
What are the attachments of the diaphragm and what nerve innervates it?
The diaphragm is attached to the xiphoid process (Sternum), the lower six costal cartilages (ribs) and the upper three lumbar vertebrae (back bone), and the fibres converge to a central median tendon. It is supplied by the phrenic nerve.
Describe the appearance and characteristic of a diaphragm rats?
The characteristics of a rats diaphragm is that it contracts and changes in size when the rat breathes. The diaphragm of the rat is found between the abdominal cavity and thoracic area. It appearance is long and thin looking.
What statement describe how air enter your body?
As the diaphragm contracts, air enters the body through the nose and mouth.
Phrenic pertains to what?
The term "phrenic" primarily pertains to the diaphragm, a muscle that plays a crucial role in breathing. It is derived from the Greek word "phren," meaning "mind" or "diaphragm," and is often used in medical contexts to describe nerves, such as the phrenic nerve, which innervates the diaphragm and is essential for respiratory function.
Describe the movement of the ribcage and diaphragm during exhalation?
I believe the ribs are there to protect our lungs, heart etc. When we breath in, what we are actually doing is telling our diaphragm to contract, which moves it in a downwards motion. This caused pressure in our lungs to lower which pulls in air.
What word describes the shape of the diaphragm when inhaling?
When inhaling, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, taking on a dome-like shape. This downward movement increases the volume of the thoracic cavity, allowing air to flow into the lungs. The term "convex" can describe the diaphragm's shape during this process, as it bulges outward.
What is the sheet of muscle located between the chest and abomen?
it is called the diaphram.
Describe the function of your diaphragm and explain how inhaling and exhaling occurs?
Breathing is done by your diaphragm. When you breathe in, your diaphragm tightens (contracts) and moves downward so your lungs can expand. When you breathe out (exhale) your diaphragm relaxes (expands) and moves up into your chest.
What is the human diaphragm made out of?
The diaphragm is not made out of bone, but the diaphragm is a muscle.
Describe how breathing is controlled?
Autonomic nerves from the medulla oblongata to the diaphragm and chest muscles to produce the cycles of the cpntraction that bring air to the lungs
What is the dome-shaped muscle that aids in breathing?
The muscle you are referring to is the diaphragm. It also separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
