| 2000 | Diaphragm structure and function in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris). Anat. Rec. 259(1): 41-51. 6 figs. + cover illus. May 1, 2000. –Describes the anatomy of the respiratory diaphragm, redefines or renames some structures in the manatee that differ from other mammals,and discusses the diaphragm's role in buoyancy control. In manatees, the transverse septum between heart and liver is separate from the diaphragm, which does not attach to the sternum. Intestinal gas may possibly be manipulated within the abdomen to help control buoyancy and pitch. | ||
