| | During normal standing and locomotion the abdomen is wrapped about the columella of the snail shell in which the hermit crab resides, so that the shell is grasped by the right ventral surface of the curved abdomen and by the terminal appendages, the uropods. | | | The circular and transverse layers, that extend the abdomen, are innervated by two of these excitors. | | | The longitudinal portion of the ventral superficial muscles, the VSM, are the major antigravity muscles of the abdomen; these slow, long-sarcomere, parallel-fibered muscles are active during posture and slow movements, and flex the abdomen. |

| | In severe cases surgical treatment is made more difficult because the infant's abdomen is abnormally small because it had no need to expand to accomodate the developing organs. | | | An omphalocele is a congenital birth defect in which the intestines, liver, and occasionally other organs remain outside of the abdomen in a sac because of a defect in the development of the muscles of the abdominal wall. | | | The omphalocele can be mild, with only a small loop of intestines present outside the abdomen, or severe, containing most of the abdominal organs. |
