However, in the past, researchers have not differentiated diaphragm muscle cells and the muscle cells of limb skeletal muscle in their studies. (sciencedaily.com)
Poor diaphragm muscle function — muscle weakness — can lead to various problems such as general fatigue or poor function of many body areas due to reduced oxygenation. (philmaffetone.com)
Because diaphragm muscle cells are similarly arranged as other skeletal muscle cells, the two have often been studied together. (sciencedaily.com)
