What are the attachments of the diaphragm and what nerve innervates it?

∙ 12y ago
The diaphragm is attached to the xiphoid process (Sternum), the lower six costal cartilages (ribs) and the upper three lumbar vertebrae (back bone), and the fibres converge to a central median tendon.
It is supplied by the phrenic nerve.

What nerve innervates the diaphragm causing it to contract?
Phrenic
What muscle does the phrenic nerve innervate?
The phrenic nerve innervates the diaphragm which is our main breathing muscle. It is a broad flat sheet that encircles our lower ribcage and separates our thoracic from our abdominal cavities. The phrenic nerve arises from the C3-C5 level of our vertebrae. In the event of a broken neck, that is often the determining factor whether someone will die (from an inability to breathe) or is just paralyzed.
What major nerve innervates the extensors of the leg?
sciatic nerve
Which cranial nerve innervates the diaphragm muscle?
The entire motor supply to the diaphragm arises from the anterior rami of segments C3-C5 of the spinal cord, and runs within the right and left phrenic nerves. In addition, pain and proprioception for the diaphragm also run within the phernic nerve, although not entirely. Sensory nerve supply for the diaphragm also is supplied by the intercostal nerves (arises from T5-T11) and the subcostal nerves (T12).
What is the specific nerve that innervates the cochlea?
Auditory Nerve from brain to ear.
Which nerve innervates knee extension?
OBTURATOR
Deep muscle of the thorax that promote the inspiratory phase of breathing?
The deep thorax muscles are the deep muscles of the thorax that promotes the inspiratory phase of breathing. When breathing the diaphragm contracts, producing a negative pressure, which forces are into the lungs.
