A

contralateral rotation of torso

19
Q

Internal oblique action

A 
bilateral = compress abdomen

24
Q

When is the inguinal canal formed?

A

2 types of inguinal hernias

A

indirect or direct

32
Q

What inguinal hernia is due to congenital weakness? where?

A

indirect - deep inguinal ring

33
Q

Indirect inguinal hernia - what happens?

A

abdominal contents enter into inguinal canal and even out of deep inguinal ring

34
Q
