diaphragma

If the meningioma arises from the diaphragma sellae the posterior chiasm is damaged.

He suggest theropods had a diaphragma driven respiratory system which could not have evolved into the complex air sacs in birds.

Diaphragma a genus of algae.

The sensory innervation of the diaphragma sellae is by the first division of the trigeminal nerve.

There was no diaphragma and the ribs in many forms were too short or spaced too closely to aid in expanding the lungs.

Diaphragma sellae, smallest infolding; covers the pituitary gland and sella turcica.

It is separated from the subarachnoid space by the diaphragma sella, therefore the arachnoid mater and thus cerebral spinal fluid cannot enter the sella turcica.

It is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, and rests in a small, bony cavity (sella turcica) covered by a dural fold (diaphragma sellae).

The diaphragma sellae or sellar diaphragm is the circular fold of dura mater that almost completely roofs the fossa hypophyseos of the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone within the skull.
