| Describe the innnervation pattern of the abdominal wall | |
| A protrusion of any viscus from its proper cavity. The Protruded parts are generallly contained in a sac-like structure, formed by the membrane with which the cavity is naturally lined | Hernia |

| What are causes of hernias | Straining while defecating, coughing Basically anything that raises intra-abdominal pressure |
| The internal and external obliques are a ... connected through aponerosis | Continueum |
