Segment 1 The intertitles explain how stress on the abdominal wall increased during the course of evolution, when humans developed into the upright position. Illustrations of primates show the distribution of weight on the abdominal wall in the four and two-legged positions. The intertitles explain that herniae are more frequent in the male. An animation shows the descent of the testes in a male. Next, a thorough description of the anatomy of the inguinal region is given. Illustrations and animations show the anatomy of the pubic area, complete with labels identifying different parts. A dissection of the muscle of this area is also shown. Stop motion is used to show the skin rolling back from the muscle. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:05:20:19 Length: 00:05:20:19
