Inferior
Inferior mainly, then lateral and interior to some structures.
No, the diaphragm lies superior to the organs in the thoracic cavity. It is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and plays a key role in the process of respiration.
Under the diaphragm lies the liver, stomach, spleen, and parts of the intestines. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (containing the heart and lungs) from the abdominal cavity (containing the digestive organs).
The oesophagus passes through the thoracic cavity and into the abdominal part of the abdominopelvic cavity
The heart is located above the diaphragm, which is a muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Specifically, the heart is situated in the thoracic cavity, slightly to the left of the midline, while the diaphragm lies below it, playing a crucial role in respiration. Thus, the heart is not "about" the diaphragm but rather positioned in relation to it.
diaphragm is muscular part made up of involuntary smooth muscles.it is nothing but a thin rubber dome with a springy and flexible rim.any dividing structure is acts as a diaphragm and is called so.a number of structures acts so.in body ,THORACIC DIAPHRAGM; a tissue of muscle separating thoracic and abdomen.it also plays important role in respiration.UROGENITAL DIAPHRAGM;a layer of pelvis separating deep perineal sac from upper pelvis.PELVIC DIAPHRAGM;a pelvic muscle consisting of levator ani and coccygeus.even iris and eardrum acts as a diaphragm.even it is used in birth control.;inserted in vagina and fitted over cervix and is held in place by vaginal muscles,this diaphragm holds spermicide in place over cervix.it kills sperms and prevent fertilization.thus the diaphragm acts as a dividing structure in various parts and divides body in various parts.
Body cavities located inferior to the diaphragm include the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. The abdominal cavity houses organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines, while the pelvic cavity contains the reproductive organs, bladder, and rectum.
thoracic
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.
The liver lies near the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity.
The diaphragm, a large dome-shaped muscle, lies just under the lungs. Its upward dome-shape flattens, moving downward and expanding the thoracic cavity, during inspiration. The rib muscles simultaneously contract and pull the rib cage up and outward, further expanding the thoracic cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity causes air to rush into the lungs. Exhalation occurs when the diaphragm and rib muscles relax, reducing the volume of the thoracic cavity. The expansion and contraction of the thoracic cavity occurs between 12 and 20 times each minute in adults.
Yes, the diaphragm lies between the thoracic and abdominal cavities and assists us to breathe.
