Question

Are diaphragms a floating rib or an organ ?

Open in App
Solution

Diaphragm is neither a floating rib nor an organ.
The diaphragm is the primary muscle used in respiration, which is the process of breathing. This dome-shaped muscle is located just below the lungs and heart. It contracts continually as you breathe in and out.
