The diaphragm through its extensive insertions connects with many organs and structures, for example, the lumbar spine, and more specifically with the 1-3 lumbar vertebra, with the esophagus (which passes through the diaphragm), with the liver, stomach, spleen, colon, duodenum, heart using ligaments and lungs with pleural effusion.
