| − | feedback4="'''Incorrect.''' This is a hernia, which is the displacement of intestine through a defect in the wall of the abdominal cavity; technically, in a true hernia, the defect through which the intestine passes is a normal opening in the abdominal cavity (e.g. umbilical hernias in young animals), whereas a rupture is where the normal body wall has been disrupted (e.g. diaphragmatic rupture; technically, the common perineal hernia should be referred to as perineal rupture).
