diaphagm is a flexible membrane which divides to chambers exposed to differant pressures, difference of thease pressures are sensed by this diaphagm .motion of this is transmitted to an indicating system like,airspeed indicators, rate pressure change instruments like variometers. in short diaphagms are measures thr gage pressures where as aneroid capsules sense absolute pressures.

What hole does your period come from?

Your menstrual flow comes out via your vaginal opening. The vaginal opening is at the bottom/back of your vulva, between your urethra (where you urinate from) and your anus (where you deficate from) - the vaginal opening is the same hole that vaginal discharge comes out of. Try looking at diaphragms online, such as from sex education sites like Scarleteen, to get an idea of where to look.


How many variors diaphragms in human body?

There are actually 8 diaphragms in the human body:Tentorum cerebelliPituitary diaphragm (covering the pituitary at the level of the stalk)Occipital bone on the AtlasThoracic inletThoracoabdominal diaphragmPelvic diaphragmPopliteal fossaand the arch of the footPELVIC DIAPHRAGMmuscular part of the pelvic floor, consists of the muscles levator ani and coccygeus. separates pelvic cavity from perineum. levator ani reinforces the external anal sphincter, and in women functions as a vaginal sphincter. it is these muscles we are strengthening when doing pelvic floor exercises. the pelvic diaphragm supports the pelvic viscera (ie. the bladder), as well as providing an attachment for the perineum (external genitals). these muscles originate across the wall of the pelvis (from posterior aspect of pubic bone to ischial spine) and insert either into one another at the midline, or into the sacrum/coccyx/anococcygeal ligament.THORACIC DIAPHRAGMthin muscular structure that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity (in other words separates lungs, heart etc. from stomach, intestines etc.) this muscle is just known as the diaphragm. it attaches to the sternum at the front (specifically xiphisternum), some of the ribs, and vertebrae of the lumbar spine. it is shaped like a dome, and has a central tendon at its top/middle into which it inserts from all angles. the role of this muscle is in breathing, as when it contracts it allows the lungs to expand and fill with air, and as it relaxes again the air is pushed out of the lungs. the aorta, inferior vena cava and the oesophagus are the 3 major structures which pierce the diaphragm in order to pass between abdominal and thoracic cavities.


How do animals without diaphragm breathe?

I'm not sure about any other ones, but I know that frogs either let the oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through their skin straight to the blood as well as they use something know as Buccal Pumping which is where the puffing of the throat comes in, they open their noses inhale into the Buccal Cavity, close their noses, then compress the cavity forcing the air in the cavity into the lungs, then in reverse pumping the used gasses out. True crabs (land) have gills and no diaphragms, either. As long as they keep moist, they do OK.


What is wave energy?

There are several types of wave energy.Sound waves carry energy from the source of the sound to your ears. Loud sounds can damage your ears, and even make windows rattle.Light waves are another form of wave energy. Laser beams are very powerful light beams that can cut or weld metals.Water waves can carry a surfboard rider to the beach, damage jetties and change the shape of the coastline.Shock waves produced by earthquakes can make buildings move and do enormous amounts if damage.Our ear drums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure motions and not by sound energy or sound intensity.
