Title: The clinical anatomy of the diaphragm

Introduction

The diaphragm is a musculo-tendinous structure lying transversely between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity.  It extends from the 7th to the 11th thoracic vertebra(T7-T11).

Embryology

It develops from four structures in fetal life. These are:
1.   Septum transversum
2.   Mesenchyme from the C3-C5 segments.
3.   Mesentery of the oesophagus.
4.   Two pleuroperitoneal membranes, embryonic sheets covering the primitive openings between thorax and abdomen.

Structure

It is domed-shaped in the living body. The diaphragm is composed of a central tendon and peripherally arranged muscular fibers. The muscles form the crura of the diaphragm. There are basically two crura, the right and the left crura, formed from the mesentery of the oesophagus.
Piercing through the diaphragm are three openings through which several structures pass. these openings are  as follows:
1.   Opening for the vena cava: this opening lies at the level of the T8 vertebra. It also transmits the phrenic nerve. The opening lies most anteriorly (towards the front) in the right dome of the diaphragm.
2.   Opening for the oesophagus: this opening transmits the oesophagus. It also transmits the vagus nerves.

3.   The opening for the aorta: the aorta begins in the heart and descends all through the thorax, pierces the diaphragm and enters the abdomen. The thoracic lymphatic duct also accompanies the aorta through its diaphragmatic opening.




Blood Supply
It is supplied by the right and left phrenic arteries, musculophrenic arteries and drained by veins with corresponding names.
Nerve supply
It is supplied by the phrenic nerve (C3-C5). It is believed that during embryonic life, the mesenchyme of the third to fifth cervical segments gave rise to the muscular part and thus supplied by the nerve components C3-C5.

Clinical correlates
1.   Abnormal openings or foramina in the diaphragm: this result from failure of the diaphragm to completely fuse leading to persistence of other openings other than the 3 mentioned above.
2.   Paralysis of the diaphragm: Lesion of the phrenic nerve either congenitally or traumatically can lead to loss of action of the muscles of the diaphragm. This deformity is highly fatal and is has a high incompatibility with life because it greatly hampers respiration. Since the diaphragm is a primary muscle of respiration.
3.   Persistent opening can result in movement of the abdominal content into the thoracic cavity.

SOAKING

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS)  SOAKING Habakkuk 2:20 "But oh! God is in his holy Temple! Quiet everyone—a Holy silence. Listen!" Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Soaking! Although the word soaking is not really a scriptural metaphor, it is a term we use to describe a moment of rest, waiting in stillness for the Holy Spirit to fill us again with the Father's love. It can be after prayers, worship session etc. Or you just wait in silence for Him. The key to the “secret place” is “soaking!” Soaking is when you rest in God's presence doing nothing but listening and listening to Him alone. "Soaking" is another term for "active rest". (Listening to Him is the active part while doing nothing is the resting part). That was exactly what happened between Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). With all the effort of Martha to give a nice and befitting treatment t

Graceful Beauty - Graceful Beauty is Royalty

GRACEFUL BEAUTY IS ROYALTY I am really excited for this moment and I want to appreciate God, and my father, Mr. Elmond Isaiah for the opportunity and rare privilege to teach on this exalted platform. I want to start by the popular saying; "how you dress is how you will be addressed." It really does not matter the amount you used to purchase a dress but the way you present yourself in the dress. Your dressing complements your beauty My beloved sisters our dressing and beauty only come to light when we also have good character. See the story of Esther and Vashti. Queen Vashti's beauty was something to behold even to the point that her husband wanted to show her off for other Kings to see. But her character made her to be replaced by Esther despite growing up as an orphan. We must build a good character. Now talking about hygiene, as a lady, you make sure you are well kept in terms of cleaning of the body, clothes, underwear, shaving etc. Some ladies can

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS)  MUSICALLY (MUSIC-ALLY) The word musically is an adverb indicating the modification of the existence of the state or condition of music now from where it was and where it always desire to be. Music is a living thing, she consistently speak to us and desire that we know and understand   every single word she says and be a channel or a medium through she can reach all people to bless them and relief them from the various struggles and stresses of this life. Musically is a word that is derived from another word called music. Even though the word musically is made up of four syllables, it is a combination of three words merged together:  Mu-Sic-Ally. Syllabically it will be mu/si/cal/ly. Musically = Music – ally, which means to be an ally to music. Music is considered the mother of all science, inventions and innovation. Music = mu – sic. Where: Mu = mother And Sic = science. So, if you put them together you will have: M

SEVEN HEBREW WORDS FOR WORSHIP

           THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) Topic: Seven Hebrew Words for "Praise and Worship." Instructor: Pastor Gilbert Edoreh INTRODUCTION The Hebrew language is quite an interesting one. Not just interesting, but deep. Having a little insight into such words (seven Hebrew words for Praise and Worship), convey a deeper essence of the things we have been seeing in the Bible. We trust God for deep insight as we examine them. Amen. SEVEN HEBREW WORDS FOR WORSHIP BARAK The first word we'll be considering is the Hebrew word - Barak. Barak (baw-rak') Some people spell it as Barauch. The word "Barak" means to bless God (as an act of adoration). It means to kneel before God our maker in worship. We can check these scriptures: Psalm 95:6 and 2Chronicles 6:13. Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down let us kneel before' the LORD our Maker. 2 Chronicles 6:13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits

TMS Prayers Academic Success Daniel 1:1-21 Lord Jesus, I thank you and I praise you for this day. Thank you for loving me with an everlasting love. Thank you for always taking good care of me. You are just forever the best. Now, LORD, I read in the book of Daniel chapter 1 where Prophet Daniel and the three Hebrew boys were in school in Babylon and You gave them favor with the dean of the school, the prince of the Eunuchs. (Dan. 1:9). Holy Spirit my comforter and greatest teacher, I ask that you give me favor also with every teacher. Thank You for the favor ready given; I have it now. In Jesus name. Lord Jesus, I also read, that when their three years of training were over, the three Hebrew boys were found to be ten times better and smarter than the rest (verse 18-20). Lord, I Am born again and I have Your life at work in me. I have eternal life already (1John 5:13). Holy Spirit, John 1:4 says, 'In Him (Jesus) was life; and the life was the light of men.'

THE GARMENT OF PRAISE

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) THURSDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER, 2017. WORD FOR THE WEEK SERIES BY IMO UKA JOHN A Wonderful Morning, Precious People of God! The king's Word to us reads: LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE YE THE LORD. PSALM 150:6 KJV. Precious People, we shall consider the topic: THE GARMENT OF PRAISE. God needs our Praise because our praises reveal His Glory. However, there is no man that is able to give GOD perfect and acceptable Praise without wearing the garment of praise itself. The garment of praise is the symbol that was used to represent the Holy Spirit in this context. The Bible says, "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, THE GARMENT OF PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified" Isaiah 61:3. The Bible also used garment of praise with the spirit of hea

UNDERSTANDING MUSIC (WHAT IS MUSIC?)

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) 9th April, 2017 SEMINAR MATERIAL 1 THEME : UNDERSTANDING MUSIC TOPIC : WHAT IS MUSIC? INSTRUCTOR : ELMOND ISAIAH INTRODUCTION Music is one of the must interesting and best present or gift given to us by our loving father and it feels so good to take a proper study as to understanding what it’s all about. Although the study of MUSIC can never be fully comprehended by any creation, even angels but by God alone who cannot be comprehended by anyone or anything. God, the Living God is the true author of music. He is music personified. So, when we study and understand what music is, it aid our worship to God and help us connect easily to Him. The Bible said in Psalms 8:1&9 that even the name of the Lord our God is excellent not to even talk about His personality and the things He does. The name of God differ from His personality. Psalms 138:2 said that God honor, magnify, and exalt His word above His name because His word is Him, while

Graceful Beauty- How to be Gracefully Beautified

HOW TO BE GRACEFULLY BEAUTIFIED If you have the power to change something about yourself and your body what will that be? I want to start by thanking papa Elmond Isaiah for such a rare privilege given to me to teach in this blessed platform of TMS. Before we discuss beauty, how to style yourself, how to be gracefully beautified, the first thing we need to address is do we truly know we are beautiful? Because, you can only give value to something you think is valuable. So I'll start by telling you tonight that the answer to the question I asked should be “nothing!” You should not need to change anything about you. There's room for improvement, of course but having nothing to change means accepting yourself wholly and caring for yourself out of love and not out of fear. Some ladies go to the gym because they're scared of getting fat.   They think fat makes them look ugly. That's not so true. When you go to gym, let it be because you believe you're
