The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration, and it separates the thorax from the abdomen and pelvis. There are a number of bits of it worth talking about (anatomically) as things have to pass through it, and it does more than just allow us to breathe easy.

  • To any med student struggling right now I just want to encourage you. You will do well just like the others before you who have struggled ( Thank you this video really helped me )

    I've been studying anatomy for 25 years and you're the best teacher I've come across. Thanks! Keep up the videos!
  • @Dystopia95
    Love this channel man. Not a medical student but every video I come one step closer to understanding my own body and how I can improve it, so thank you!
  • The osteopath I saw adjusted my diaphragm to get rid of my anxiety. It got moved or seized after a hard fall on ice years prior. He said it wasn't in the right position and my heart didn't have the space it needed to expand all the way so sometimes my heart would beat faster and I'd get panicky and I'd feel pressure tightness in my solar plexus. My thoughts would follow the physiological event and I'd catastrophize. After 2 adjustments that awful sensation completely doesn't happen anymore. 5 years I lived like that. Now I'm able to take full deep breaths as well. It Like I got adjusted back to factory settings. I realized I didn't know anything about the diaphragm and it's truly an interesting piece of the infrastructure!

    During last month's anatomy exam I was able to understand many difficult to remember things intuitively because of your videos. Hopefully I can keep up the work. Thank you. Please keep making these videos.

    Using american spellings the mnemonic we learned was I ate(8) 10 Eggs At 12 I ate = I for IVC at level 8 10 Eggs = E for esophagus at T10 At 12 = A for Aorta at 12 Again, not completely clean mnemonic, but helpful nonetheless
  • I just want to say, I am taking my 1st year of massage therapy and you are the best teacher I have come across!! The way you explain it makes learning easy! Thank you for your videos!!

    remember: C3,4 and 5 keep the Diaphragm Alive.

    This channel teaches anatomy always in a comprehensive way! 👍 5:50- Everyone is warned: don't use pressure in the ab cavity (eg in constipation) which would cause diverticular, small bubbles in the wall of the gut as a result of the abdominal pressure. It's mostly trouble free but there is a certain probability of leading to inflammation (diverticulitis) or even penetration, a hole connecting the gut lumen to the peritoneal cavity that requires an ab surgery to fix

    remember: Parts of Diaphragm that arise from Vertebrae are tendinous and known as Crura. (right & left)

    Hey Mr.Webster, Thank you for providing this information. I was watching Seinfeld Season 4: Episode 10 , and This scene occurred where i didn't understand the joke quite well since they said "the Diaphragm" ,and laughter just followed. So i went on YouTube and just searched : Diaphragm and you came up. This video has been so informative. I never took the time to really understand what we are as a physical being. I grossly neglected my body, maybe for depression or just never truly developing any interest for what i was. Thank you for motivating me to learn about the human anatomy and if possible i would love to contact you to thank you very much. Your truly Danny Barillas. By the way the title of the episode is called The Virgin , What a killer joke huh? Well look like i still didn't get the joke quite well, it was the contraceptive. Guess i still have plenty to learn.
  • @MrKarthikDB
    You sir are the best teacher in anatomy. Thumbs up.
  • @yogawchris
    Amazing video! I came across your channel during diaphragmatic breathing research and found treasure. I love how you tied in philosophy with science! Thank you Sam Webster.
  • Thank you Sir. This referred pain on the shoulder from the visceral is common post surgeries. After I had my CS that happened. And it's so common amongst other friends who's had same experience. Thanks alot. This is very useful. I you are the best.
