A large flat muscle that separates the lungs from the stomach area and that is used in breathing?
The muscle you are referring to is the diaphragm. It is a large, dome-shaped muscle that plays a crucial role in respiration by contracting and flattening to create a vacuum that allows air to flow into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, it moves back to its dome shape, helping to expel air from the lungs. This vital muscle separates the thoracic cavity, which contains the lungs, from the abdominal cavity, which houses the stomach and other organs.
