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 helps in the flow of the air to and from the lungs. The diaphragm moves down as one inhales, and then up as one exhales. The movement is controlled by the phrenic nerves. Whenever there is irritation on these nerves, it induces diaphragm spasm.
