  Hernia - Hemorrhoid - Hemorrhoids - Rectal Bleeding
A hernia may be likened to a failure in the sidewall of a pneumatic tire.
Inguinal hernias are further divided into the more common "indirect inguinal hernia", in which the inguinal canal is entered via a congenital weakness at its apex, and the "direct" type, where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in its back wall.
A hiatus hernia is a particular variant of the latter in which the normal passageway through which the esophagus meets the stomach serves as a functional "defect", allowing part of the stomach to periodically "herniate" into the chest.

  Optimum Signs for Presence and Degree of Lumbar Disc Herniation
The strongest indicator for the grade of hernia was the range of sagittal lumbar motion.
The range was negligible for protruded hernia (generalized bulge with root involvement), and progressively decreased with an extruded disc hernia (posterior ligament still intact) and sequestrated (complete hernia beyond the posterior ligament).
Therefore the use of both the lumbar range-of-motion and crossed Lasegue sign predicted 74 percent of uncontained (sequestrated hernias), and 68 percent of contained hernias (protruded and extruded).

  Hernia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hernia is a protrusion of a tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the muscular tissue or the membrane by which it is normally contained (definition from MeSH).
Inguinal hernias are further divided into the more common indirect inguinal hernia (2/3, depicted here), in which the inguinal canal is entered via a congenital weakness at its entrance (the internal inguinal ring), and the "direct" type (1/3), where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in the back wall of the inguinal canal.
Hiatus hernias may be either "sliding," in which the gastroesophageal junction itself slides through the defect into the chest, or non-sliding (also known as para-esophageal), in which case the junction remains fixed while another portion of the stomach moves up through the defect.
