| paradoxical diaphragm phenomenon | In pyopneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, and some cases of injury, the diaphragm on the affected side rises during inspiration and falls during expiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral part of diaphragm | The portion of the diaphragm that arises from the upper lumbar vertebrae and from the medial and lateral arcuate ligaments. See: right crus of diaphragm, left crus of diaphragm, lateral arcuate ligament, medial arcuate ligament. Synonym: pars lumbalis diaphragmatis, vertebral part of diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central tendon of diaphragm | A three-lobed fibrous sheet occupying the centre of the diaphragm. Synonym: centrum tendineum diaphragmatis, trefoil tendon. Central tendon of perineum, the fibromuscular mass between the anal canal and the urogenital diaphragm in the median plane; midline episiotomies extend into this structure. Synonym: centrum tendineum perinei, perineal body, Savage's perineal body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelvic diaphragm | Diaphragm of pelvis, the paired levator ani and coccygeus muscles together with the fascia above and below them. Synonym: diaphragma pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| superior fascia of pelvic diaphragm | The fascia on the superior aspect of the levator ani and coccygeus muscles. Synonym: fascia diaphragmatis pelvis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
