The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the thoracic cavity, separating the chest from the abdominal cavity. It plays a crucial role in respiration, contracting to create negative pressure in the thoracic cavity, allowing air to flow into the lungs. The diaphragm is also innervated by the phrenic nerve, and it can be affected by various conditions, impacting breathing efficiency. Additionally, it has openings for structures like the aorta and esophagus, facilitating their passage between the thorax and abdomen.
What else can I help you with?
What are characteristics of microscopic?
Characteristics of a microscope include Illuminator, Eyepiece Lens and Tunnel, Objective Lenses and Diaphragm or Iris.
What is a sensing element diaphragm?
A sensing element diaphragm is a thin, flexible material used in pressure sensors to respond to changes in pressure by deflecting. It converts pressure exerted on it into a mechanical displacement that can then be measured and converted into an electrical signal for further processing. The diaphragm's design and material properties play a crucial role in the sensor's accuracy and response characteristics.
Which muscle is innervated by the phrenic nerve?

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.
Muscle separating the chest and abdomen?
the diaphragm is the muscle separating the chest and the abdomen

How the diaphragm helps the lungs?
Your diaphragm contracts and expands when you breath. When the diaphragm contracts, air rushes into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled.
When you breathe in does the diaphragm do?
When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts. This makes the diaphragm move lower and increases the area in your lungs.
What separates the thoracic from abdominal cavities?
diaphragm
