The thoracic obstruction, or diaphragm, is a muscular organ that separates the chest and abdominal cavities. It is the most massive muscle of the abdominal wall. Despite the name, the thoracoventral obstruction is an extension of the ribs on each side. As you inhale, the external obliques and intercostal muscles contract, helping the diaphragm contract downward and draw air into the lungs through the esophagus and oral cavity.
Thoracic breathing differs from abdominal breathing in that the movement of air in it is caused by contraction of the diaphragm. In this case, the chest has to straighten slightly. The main function of the diaphragm is to help the body fill the lungs with air during a full inhalation. The lungs and its airways are provided with a large volume of oxygen and stimulate all vital processes in the body, returning it to a state of rest.
Paradoxically, the thoracic type of breathing has lower energy consumption than the abdominal type. In the last decade, scientists around the world have continued to work in the field of study and medical study of the work of the diaphragm and other abdominal muscles.
The thoraco-abdominal canal (thoracic diaphragm) is a vertically located gap between the chest and abdominal cavities, which connects them to each other and forms a functional whole with the chest. It serves to support the wall of the abdominal cavity and move air during breathing. IN
