Etymology: * Greek: "diaphragma," meaning "wall" or "partition"
Meaning: A thin, dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs that separates the thoracic (chest) cavity from the abdominal cavity.
Origin: The Greek word "diaphragma" originally referred to any type of wall or partition. Over time, the term came to be specifically applied to the muscular structure that separates the chest from the abdomen. This structure is essential for respiration, as it contracts and relaxes to draw air into and expel air from the lungs.
