What is Diaphragm about?

The diaphragm is a muscular partition between the thoracic and abdominal cavities, primarily functioning as the main muscle of respiration, particularly during inspiration. It has three parts: sternal, costal, and vertebral, and is innervated by the phrenic nerve for motor supply and intercostal nerves for sensory supply. The diaphragm has major openings for the vena cava, esophagus, and aorta, and can be affected by conditions such as diaphragmatic paralysis and hernia.
