The blood-vessels and nerves of this part of the digestive canal are very numerous, and are derived from the same sources as those of the small intestine. The Liver. The liver is a part of the digestive apparatus, since it forms the bile, one of the digestive fluids. It is a large reddish-brown organ, situated just below the diaphragm, and on the right side.
The ribs press against the lungs and the diaphragm slowly returns to its original position and the breath is forced out like squeezing water out of a sponge. The one important thing in breath management is the diaphragm. If the student has the right action of the diaphragm he will have no further trouble with breath control.
In these children every burst of crying, however produced, whether by a fall, by a fright, by the entrance of a stranger, or by a visit to a doctor, is apt to be ushered in by a long period of apnoea, due to spasm of the glottis and of the diaphragm. The first few expirations are not followed by any inspiration.
Then the gentleman who was not Bill got his knee below Mr Watkins' diaphragm, and tried to curl him up upon it. When his sensations became less entangled he was sitting upon the turf, and eight or ten men the night was dark, and he was rather too confused to count standing round him, apparently waiting for him to recover.
"You see," he explained, "when a voice or a passage of music sounds or is sung before a phonograph, its modulations received upon the diaphragm are written by the needle point upon the surface of the cylinder or disc in a series of fine waving or zig- zag lines of infinitely varying depth and breadth. "Close familiarity with such records for about forty years has taught Mr.
This allows the carbon dioxide and water to pass out of the blood tubes into the air sacs, while the oxygen at the same time goes through into the blood. More than a pint of water is given off in the breath daily. =How we Breathe.= The bottom of the chest cavity is formed by an upward arching sheet of muscle called the diaphragm. This is fastened to the lower ribs.
Du Moncel had observed that powder of carbon altered in electrical resistance under pressure, and Edison found that lamp-black was so sensitive as to change in resistance under the impact of the sonorous waves. His transmitter consisted of a button or wafer of lamp-black behind a diaphragm, and connected in the circuit.
But the discrepancy is accounted for by the fact that about two inches above its lower border the diaphragm is attached to the ribs so that only a partial displacement is possible, which shows the futility of the more or less violent effort involved in pure diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing.
In the telautograph the varying currents are caused not by the diaphragm influenced by the voice, but by a pencil moved by the hand. To show how these movements may be caused let us imagine a case that may occur in nature. It is an interesting mechanical study. There is an upright rush or reed growing in the middle of a running stream.
There was no telling how much effort it had cost him to get his courage screwed up sufficiently to bring him thus far; and to have this dirty, mud-bedraggled scrub of a boy intimate that the whole outfit should be furnished with long ears, was too much. As Homer would say, "his diaphragm became black all over."
