comment
[en] The diaphragm is a thin muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. There are two lumbocostal arches on either side. It plays an important role in respiration. As the diaphragm contracts, it increases the volume of the thoracic cavity and facilitates inspiration. The diaphragm consists of three parts: a sternal part, a costal part, and a lumbar part. It has three large openings and several smaller ones. The aortic hiatus allows the passage of the aorta, the azygos vein and the thoracic duct. The easophageal hiatus permits the passage of the esophagus and the vagal trunks. Finally, the inferior vena cava and the right phrenic nerve run through the caval opening.

comment
[de] Das Zwerchfell ist eine muskul?se Scheidewand zwischen Brusth?hle und Bauchh?hle, mit zwei kuppelf?rmigen Vorw?lbungen in den Brustraum. Die Kontraktion des Zwerchfells f?hrt zur Einatmung. Es leistet den gr??ten Teil der zur Inspiration wichtigen Muskelarbeit. Das Zwerchfell besteht aus einem Lendenteil, der Pars lumbalis, einem Rippenteil, der Pars costalis und einem Brustbeinteil, der Pars sternalis. Im Zwerchfell sind drei gr??e ?ffnungen vorhanden. Durch den Hiatus arorticus ziehen die Aorta und der Ductus thoracicus. Durch den Hiatus oesophagus verlaufen die Speiser?hre und der Nervus vagus. Durch das Foramen venae cavae zieht die untere Holvene. Zudem sind noch weitere kleine ?ffnungen vorhanden.
