Medical Definition of Diaphragm (muscle) Diaphragm (muscle): The muscle that separates the chest (thoracic) cavity from the abdomen. The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration. Contraction of the diaphragm muscle expands the lungs during inspiration when one is breathing air in. We rely heavily on the diaphragm for our respiratory function so that when the diaphragm is impaired, it can compromise our breathing.
The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the chest (thoracic) and abdominal cavities and is controlled by the phrenic nerve. Diaphragmatic paralysis, whether it occurs in one or both sides of the diaphragm, is uncommon. In patients where one side of the diaphragm is paralyzed, the paralysis occurs in the left and right side with equal frequency.
