Preserving Renal Function with Medication. 1  1. Control your blood pressure. If diet and exercise are not sufficient to keep you from developing hypertension, your doctor may prescribe medications. 2  2. Address anemia. Most patients with kidney failure (except those with polycystic kidney disease) will develop anemia.
Motor Functions. The phrenic nerve provides motor innervation to the diaphragm; the main muscle of respiration. As the phrenic nerve is a bilateral structure, each nerve supplies the ipsilateral side of the diaphragm (i.e. the hemi-diaphragm on the same side as itself).
Diaphragm and Phrenic Nerve. ++. The diaphragm is a large dome shaped muscle that separates the chest and abdominal cavities. The lower edge of the diaphragm is attached to the inner surface of ribs 6 through 12, the xiphoid process of the sternum and the upper 2 or 3 lumbar vertebrae (L1, L2, L3) .The muscles of the diaphragm converge at itâs top in the central tendon.he phrenic nerves arise from the 3rd through 5th spinal nerves. Spinal cord injury above the level of the third vertebrae can cause disruption of nerve impulses that travel from the brain to the phrenic nerves. This can cause paralysis of the diaphragm and the need for the injured person to be on a respirator.
