Your diaphragm is located below your lungs. When you relax your muscles, your diaphragm is shaped like a dome.

What is the job of the diaphragm in the human body?
the diaphragm helps hold air in and out it is located right below your ribcage. when you sing, it pulses and allows your air to hold for a long time without a breath. The diaphragm is a muscle starting in your back and running to your front below your ribcage. It completely separates the area within your ribcage from the area below. However it does have sealed portals through which vessels and other structures pass. By expanding your diaphragm -- your abdomen will rise because the diaphragm is expanding downward into the abdominal area -- you can create a partial vacuum which helps to draw air into your lungs. Conversely, by relaxing your diaphragm you let air out of your lungs.
What is the diaphragm located below?
The diaphragm is shaped like a dome and curves to the bottom of the chest cavity and right above the stomach.
What body organ is located below the rib cage on the right side?

How is air moved out of the lungs?
The diaphragm, a muscle right at the bottom of you rib cage, pulls air into your lungs and pushes it back out.
Is the liver above the stomach?
The liver is located above the stomach in the abdominal cavity. It is in the upper right hand side below the diaphragm.
Where is the liver in the body?
It lyes in the right side of the abdominal cavity. Just under the diaphragm.
How does the diaphragm affect the lungs?
The diaphragm (also called the thoracic diaphragm) is a layer of muscle extending across the bottom of the ribcage. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. A diaphragm in anatomy is generally used to describe flat structures, like the urogenital and pelvic diaphragm. However when someone speaks of "the diaphragm" they generally mean the thoracic one. With regards to respiration, the diaphragm is a crucial aspect of the process. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts, allowing the thoracic cavity to grow (the external intercostal muscles also aid expansion) allowing the lungs to take in more air. This also decreases intra-thoracic pressure, meaning when the thoracic cavity grows it creates suction which draws air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled thus relaxing (opposite of contracting) the diaphragm. This entire process happens every time a breath is taken.
What is below the diaphragm?
The diaphragm is shaped like a dome and curves to the bottom of the chest cavity and right above the stomach.
Is the liver located in the LLQ?
I'm assuming you mean the lower left quadrant. The liver is located on the right hand side of the body, just below the diaphragm. So, no it is not located in the LLQ. Hope that helps. :)
