Diaphragm (anatomy)

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!

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.

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!!

[Dystopia]

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!

[KAST]

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.

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!

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

interesting commentary at 18:00. This is related to the fact the limbic system does not communicate directly with verbal centres in the cortex, but signals to the gut, which signals are then communicated to the cortex...thus 'gut feelings'.

[tasnimtariq]

still saving lives two years later, really thaaaank you ❤️

[arcade]

thank you so much for all your help. I am a nurse I learned anatomy only by a book and it was very difficult to understand and imagine some parts of our body like the diaphragm and you made me understand anatomy better. Thank you, God bless you.

Dude looks like Hugh Lowry (Dr House). This is awesome.

[ternitamas]

you're so passionate and I really love how you enunciate, we can't possible do anything but immerse into the videos, they are so informative and addictive. Brilliant lectures!

[jeremiahbaker]

I ate 10 eggs at 12 - I for IVC, 8- for passing through diaphragm at level T8 . 10 eggs for T10 level for esophagus hiatus. At 12 - Aorta at T12 . Has helped me loads

[shahbaz]

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

[MrKarthikDB]

You sir are the best teacher in anatomy. Thumbs up.
