I was taught that is part of the human body. It's like right above the stomach and it separates the thorax from the abdomen or something like that. When I looked it up it was a completely different defintion and I couldn't find the one I learned about. Did I learn wrong or something?

You are right about what you know as the diaphragm however there are also many other subjects referred to as diaphragm. The diaphragm you know refers to a thoracic diaphragm which is a shelf of muscle extending between the thorax and abdomen.
Few variations examples of its meaning are as follows:
**In contraception, Diaphragm refers to a small rubber dome placed in the vagina to wall off the cervix, thus preventing sperm from entering.
**In mechanics, Diaphragm refers to a sheet of a semi-flexible material anchored at its periphery.
** In optics, Diaphragm refers to a stop in the light path of a lens, having an aperture that regulates the amount of light that passes.♥

In the human it is located exactly as you learn-ed , It separates chest from abdomen but permits the passage of food via the oesophagus to the stomach and Blood via the great vessels from the heart and back to supply all parts below it.
Generally diaphragm separates compartments and permits functions I think

No, there's just multiple definitions of the word. What you are saying is correct, it's a muscle that inflates and deflates your lungs. It's also a name for a birth control device (basically a female condom).

When I wish to make certain I am making a song with enought aid I do raspberries--even though they may be able to get messy! You must be in a position to roll your r's or bubble your lips (make a bbbbb sound via blowing air via comfy lips), or be in a position to make raspberries via striking your tongue among your lips and blowing (air will bubble out among the backside of your tongue and your minimize lip). The complete raspberry is exceptional, however lips by myself or tongue by myself will paintings. If you cannot do that in any respect, calm down and scan till you'll be able to hum a couple of pitches at the same time doing it. I do it such a lot that the vibration does not hassle me anymore, however in case you must, positioned your finger at the tip of your nostril to quit your entire face from vibrating. Hum a word while that you just raspberry. It will sound like you are making a song underneath water. Did you're making it the entire means via, or did your lips quit effervescent? Experiment till you'll be able to "sing" the entire means via the word like this. Once you'll be able to do that, you're assisting the sound along with your diaphragm. Doing a raspberry takes so a lot more air that it is unimaginable to do it for lengthy with out well aid. You'll mechanically calm down your tongue and jaw and work out how so much air to make use of within the word (due to the fact you will not make it via to the top in case you nerve-racking up within the core, or use an excessive amount of air). Also! I maintain a tissue over my mouth while I do not wish to spit everywhere the piano. ;-) Your throat anxiety will have to depart whilst you sing with adequate aid from the diaphragm. When you consider your throat getting sore, it is a signal that you're do not need adequate aid, that you are have an excessive amount of anxiety, or that you are too worn out to maintain going. If it is been not up to 20 mins, anxiety is generally the perpetrator--return to the raspberries and notice in the event that they support. If it is been greater than 20 mins, your frame is generally getting worn out. Take a holiday! Good good fortune!
