There are three groups.

The diaphragm is probably the one you're asking about - it's the large "wall" of muscle between the lungs/heart in the thorax in the upper part of the body and the other, lower organs (stomach, intestines, etc) in the abdomen.

When you breath, and your belly moves in or out, you are using the diaphragm.

How is oxygen unloaded from the arterial blood to the muscle and carbon dioxide removed from the muscle into the venous blood?

Oxygen (O2) is delivered via artery to capillary to muscle tissue where its used in metabolism resulting in CO2; then CO2 goes from muscle tissue to venous system to pulmonary(lung) system where CO2 is exchanged for O2, then returned to the heart for recirculation.
