Q

Describe Vertebral Origin of Diaphragm

A

by 2 crura & 5 Arcuate ligaments
* Right Crus (largest of the 2): attached to bodies of upper 3 lumbar vertebra, it extends upwards to surround eosophagus, thus forming physiological sphincter around Cardiac end of stomach
* Left Crus: attached to upper 2 lumbar vertebrae
* Median Arcuate ligament: extending between both crura & arches over Aorta
* 2 medial Arcute ligaments: extends from on of the crus to tip of transverse process of 1st lumbar vertebrae, and arches over psoas Major
* 2 Lateral Arcute ligaments: extends from TP of 1st LV to Last rib 7 Arches over Quadratus Lumborum
