diafragmájával

The diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the chest cavity that helps with breathing. It separates the abdomen from the chest. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, moving downward. This action increases the volume of the chest cavity, drawing air into the lungs. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its dome shape, decreasing the volume of the chest cavity and pushing air out of the lungs. This process is largely involuntary, meaning it happens automatically without conscious thought. However, it can also be controlled voluntarily, which is important for activities like speaking, singing, and playing wind instruments. The diaphragm plays a crucial role in respiration, ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen to the body and the removal of carbon dioxide. Damage to the diaphragm, often caused by injury or surgery, can significantly impair breathing and may require medical intervention. Its unique structure and function make it essential for sustaining life.
