Anterior walls of thoracic and abdominal cavities have been removed. Natural position of the heart above the central tendon on the diaphragm is shown. Changes in the position of the diaphragm and thoracic cage during respiration. Left: lateral aspect; right: anterior aspect. During inspiration the diaphragm moves downwards and the lower part of the thoracic cage expands forward and laterally, causing the costodiaphragmatic recess (R) to enlarge (cf. dotted arrows). 104750_S_265_290_Kap_4:_ 05.01.2010 10:43 Uhr Seite 283 Diaphragm 283 1 Azygos venous arch 2 Right pulmonary artery 3 Superior vena cava 4 Right pulmonary vein 5 Fossa ovalis 6 Hepatic veins 7 Inferior vena cava 8 Right crus of lumbar part of diaphragm 9 Medial arcuate ligament 10 Psoas major muscle 11 Left brachiocephalic vein 12 Terminal crista 13 Right atrium 14 Right auricle 15 Central tendon of diaphragm 16 Esophagus 17 Celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery 18 Aorta 19 Costal part of diaphragm 20 Costal margin 21 Transversus abdominis muscle Diaphragm.
