| superior fascia of urogenital diaphragm | A layer of fascia that has been described on the superior surface of the sphincter urethrae and the deep transverse perineal muscles. Its presence is doubted by some anatomists. Synonym: fascia diaphragmatis urogenitalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diaphragm | <anatomy> The thin muscle below the lungs and heart that separates the chest from the abdomen. (12 May 1997) |
| diaphragm of sella | A fold of dura mater extending transversely across the sella turcica and roofing over the hypophyseal fossa; it is perforated in its centre for the passage of the infundibulum. Synonym: diaphragma sellae, diaphragm sellae, tentorium of hypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diaphragm pessary | A ring with a covered opening, used as a platform to support uterus, bladder, or rectum, or to prevent conception. (05 Mar 2000) |

| iris diaphragm | <microscopy> A diaphragm with thin metal leaves so arranged that the rotation of an actuating lever varies the diameter. (05 Aug 1998) |
| eventration of the diaphragm | Extreme elevation of a half or part of the diaphragm, which is usually atrophic and abnormally thin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urogenital diaphragm | A triangular sheet of muscle between the ischiopubic rami; composed of the sphincter urethrae, and the deep transverse perineal muscles. Synonym: diaphragma urogenitale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| field diaphragm | <microscopy> In a photomicrographic system particularly, an iris diaphragm that is imaged in the field of view with Kohler illumination. This limits the extent of the illuminated field and eliminates much extraneous light. The iris diaphragm that is located in front of the collecting lens of the light source. With Kohler illumination, the condenser focuses the image of the field diaphragm onto the image plane. (05 Aug 1998) |
