Rat Diaphragmatic Muscle Cells

Research on the Rat Diaphragmatic Muscle Cells is essential to the study of diaphragmatic paralysis, muscular dystrophy models, ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction, and phrenic nerve injury. The diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs. It is composed of skeletal muscle and connective tissue, with a central tendinous region. As the primary muscle of respiration, the diaphragm plays a vital role in breathing. When it contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and allowing air to be drawn into the lungs. When it relaxes, it moves upward, reducing thoracic volume and assisting in exhalation. The Rat Diaphragmatic Muscle Cells are to be used with Rat Diaphragmatic Muscle Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0332). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
