Recently vandalized. I repaired it. Keep an eye on it.

[edit] Valsalva maneuvre

New to editing and don't want to edit the article, but somebody could add info on the valsalva maneuvre to the functions-part..

[edit] Proposed name change

I suggest changing the name to Diaphragm (thoracic). Diaphragm (anatomy) could refer to any of several structures. - Richardcavell 06:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be "Thoracic diaphragm" by comparison to urogenital diaphragm and pelvic diaphragm (and because the word in parenthesis should be the subject area, not the anatomical region). But I agree that "Diaphragm (anatomy)" is an oddly ambiguous choice.  — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 11:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I see that Thoracic diaphragm already exists as a redirect to Diaphragm (anatomy). So we could easily just swap those two pages so the redirect points the other direction.  — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 11:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, thoracic diaphragm is better. At least it would move this structure outside the namespace of diaphragm (the disambig page). - Richardcavell 22:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Um.... in the first paragraph it says the Penis is the shelf of muscle.... Isn't that supposed to be diphragm? Looks like the vandal struck again. I say we sack him! Anonymous Joe

[edit] Diaphragm Dictionary Definition

While the dictionary definition might be interesting, I don't think that it is altogether necessary and, to me, it clutters the site up a little. Maybe the caption could be shortened or something similar, but it's sort of distracting. 66.52.218.100 07:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
