The Seven Essentials to Life and Health: A Practical, Primary Treatise on Hygiene - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Fig. II. Explanation. The diaphragm, the organ of breathing and the leading uuiseie of the body, is attached to the inner lower border of the ribs and erowns up like a dome over the liver, stomach and spleen, with the heart resting down lightly on top of the dome and tiie lower border of the lungs slipping down on each side of the dome between it and the ribs. Tliis appears i)artly in the right lung, but the left lung is cut away at the top of tlie dome so as not to obscure the location of the stomach, which is dotted in uneler the diaphragm on the left side of the body, being drawn away from the ribs to show the spleen (sp.). The liver is dotted in on the right side and the lower border lifted to show location of gall bladder. The colon is drawn down to show the kidneys. To appreciate diaphragm action, read pp. 45-47 and 162-lG(i, studying the cut as you read. If the lower front border of the lungs were allowed to appear in their true jiosition they would spread inward and downward, covering all but the central and lower portion of this dome of the diaphragm.
