Diaphragmatic-Colonic Ligament

The diaphragmatic-colic ligament (l.phrenicocolicum) is an anatomical structure that connects the diaphragm and colon. This ligament is important for the functioning of the abdominal organs and the digestive system as a whole.

The diaphragmatic-colic ligament consists of two parts: the diaphragmatic ligament and the colic ligament. The diaphragmatic ligament starts from the diaphragm and runs along the lateral wall of the abdominal cavity, connecting to the transverse colon. The colic ligament starts from the transverse colon and goes down, attaching to the anterior wall of the abdominal cavity.

The main function of the diaphragmatic-colic ligament is to provide support to abdominal organs such as the stomach, intestines and liver. In addition, this ligament plays an important role in regulating bowel movement and digestion. When the colonic ligament contracts, it causes the colon to move upward and forward, which helps move food into the stomach.

Dysfunction of the diaphragmatic-colic ligament can lead to various diseases such as dyspepsia, constipation or diarrhea. In addition, improper placement of this ligament can lead to intestinal dysfunction and other digestive problems.

Thus, the diaphragmatic-colic ligament plays an important role in the functioning of the abdominal organs and requires careful study in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the digestive system.

Concept and anatomy of the diaphragmatic-colic ligament For easy breathing, every person has a diaphragm and its ligaments. Through these ligaments, the diaphragmatic sac and colon are connected. That is why they are called the phrenic-colic ligament. It is responsible for diffuse participation in various vital processes.
