Diaphragm is a dome-shaped, muscular partition that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities and plays a key role in breathing. It contracts and flattens to enlarge the chest cavity, generating inhalation, and relaxes to allow exhalation. Used in anatomy, medicine, and physiology discussions, the term also appears in everyday talk about breathing techniques and sports performance.
