Medical - Medical (general) / diaframma
English term or phrase: diaphragm leg
Nel trattato di anatomia in una figura in cui si descrive il diaframma trovo queste frasi:
Coloured presentation of the diaphragm leg on the right side (Crus dextrum) and left side (Crus sinistrum).
Each diaphragm leg is divided into Crus mediale (right: yellow, left: green), crus intermedium (light blue) and crus lateral (red).
The Crus dextrum is affixed to the lumbar vertebrae bodies L1–L3 and the intervening intervertebral discs, the Crus sinistrum to the lumbar vertebrae L1 and L2 and the intervening discs.
The Crus mediale dextrum forms a loop around the esophagus (Hiatus oesophageus).
Right and left diaphragm legs are connected via the spine through a tendon arch (Hiatus aorticus), which runs behind the aorta.

Grazie.

pilastri del diaframma
Explanation:
Ciao Angela, ho trovato numerose occorrenze per "pilastri del diaframma" che è, appunto, la denominazione "volgarizzata" di crus. Ho trovato conferma anche nell'Harrison (Principi di medicina interna) in cui "diaphragmatic crus" è reso come "pilastri diaframmatici".
Tutte le occorrenze in cui mi sono imbattute per "gambe del diaframma", invece, sono molto datate; forse il termine veniva utilizzato in passato. Spero possa esserti d'aiuto.

crus diaphragmatis


Explanation:
The crus of diaphragm (pl. crura), refers to one of two tendinous structures that extends below the diaphragm to the vertebral column. There is a right crus and a left crus, which together form a tether for muscular contraction. They take their name from their leg-shaped appearance – crus meaning leg in Latin.

Quindi avrai: crus sinistrum diaphragmatis e crus dextrum diaphragmatis. Lascerei tutto in latino che è sempre elegante e tecnico.

Va bene. Mi sembra comunque chiaro. Un'alternativa potrebbe essere "colonna". A te la decisione. Buon lavoro

Asker: Non devo lasciare niente in latino, queste sono le istruzioni dell'agenzia. Tradurre tutto.

Asker: Pilastro destro e sinistro del diaframma va bene?

agree  Luigi Argentino: Concordo. Se non si può usare la definizione latina, pilastro è sicuramente il termine più utilizzato.
