what attaches w corpus of L1-L4 and transverse processes at L1
vertebral diaphragmatic attachment
what attaches to inner border of ribs 7-12
diaphragm costal attachment
diaphragm central tendon
- crescent shaped, white and translucent
- conforms to prominence of vertebral column
- flexibility but depends on radiating fibers of the diaphragm for movement
- provides a strong and secure floor for the heart
three openings in the diaphragm
aortic hiatus, esophageal hiatus, foramen vena cava
