groin hernia all of his adult life; he states, "as far back as I can remember." Sometimes
he has to push the bulge back into his abdominal muscle and then he is fine until he has
a coughing spell. This morning the bulge was large and tender when he woke up and he
could not reduce it. As the pain increased, he felt weak and nauseous. His daughter
took him to the emergency department. Morris was diagnosed with a strangulated
incarcerated hernia and scheduled for emergency surgery. If the contents of Morris'

his surgical specimen will be: - Answer c. necrotic bowel.
