Question

Diaphragms are made of materials resistant to the particular fluids being transported. Choose four materials which are often used to manufacture diaphragms

a) 1, 4, 5, 6
b) 2, 4, 5, 6
c) 1, 2, 3, 5
d) 1, 2, 4, 5
e) 1, 2, 4, 6

Answer 1

Diaphragms for birth control are made of materials like silicone, latex, or synthetic rubber due to their suitability against body fluids. The muscular diaphragm in human anatomy is not manufactured and is not pertinent to the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question inquires about materials used to manufacture diaphragms, specifically relating to their resistance to fluids transported.

Diaphragms can refer to several types, but for clarification, two types are notable: the contraceptive diaphragm and the muscular diaphragm in the human body. The contraceptive diaphragm, addressed in the background text, is a barrier method of birth control inserted vaginally.

It is typically made from materials like silicone, latex, or synthetic rubber, each chosen for their flexibility, durability, and resistance to the body's fluids.

Additionally, the muscular diaphragm is a critical component in breathing and is associated with structures like the pleural cavity, but it is not manufactured and hence, not related to material choices for diaphragms discussed in this question.
