The diaphragm, or midrifT, is the muscular divisionbetween the thorax and the abdomen. It is penetrated by theeesophagus on its way to the stomach, by the aorta conveyingblood toward the lower extremity, and by the ascending venacava, or vein, on its way to the jieart. Fig. Fig. 42.

Observation. The diaphragm may be compared to an in-verted basin, its bottom being turned upward into the thorax,while its edge corresponds with the outline of the edges of thelower ribs and sternum. Its concavity is directed toward theabdomen, and thus, this cavity is very much enh\rged at theexpense of tliat of the chest, which is diminislied to an 159 Describe the diaphragm, ^yhat vessels penetrate this muscularseptum ? 7 74 ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AN
