Concerning the phrenic nerve1

it innervates the diaphragmatic pleura

2

it is normally derived from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical spinal

cord segments

3

it traverses the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm

it innervates the diaphragmatic peritoneum

Concerning the Diaphragm:

1 It is attached to the lower six costal cartilages

2 It gets its motor innervation from the 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical

segments of the spinal cord 3 It has the abdominal aorta going through the central tendinous

portion4 it is innervated peripherally by the intercostal nerves

5 it is normally fused with the inferior aspect of the fibrous

pericardium
