  2. Foregut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foregut

    Its two attachments are commonly referred to as the dorsal mesogastrium and the ventral mesogastrium. As the stomach rotates during early development, the dorsal and ventral mesentery rotate with it; this rotation produces a space anterior to the expanding stomach called the greater sac, and a space posterior to the stomach called the lesser sac.

  3. Mesentery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesentery

    Mesentery in red. Dorsal mesentery is the lower part of the circuit. The upper part is ventral mesentery. Abdominal part of digestive tube and its attachment to the primitive or common mesentery. Human embryo of six weeks. Schematic figure of the bursa omentalis, etc. Human embryo of eight weeks.

    Diagram showing the process by which the intestine rotates and herniates during normal development. From panel A to B (left-sided views), the midgut loop rotates 90° in a counterclockwise direction (caudal-to-rostral view), so that its position changes from midsagittal (A) to transverse (B1). The small intestine forms loops (B2) and slides ...

    Schematic and enlarged cross-section through the body of a human embryo in the region of the mesogastrium, at end of third month. The lesser omentum is extremely thin, and is continuous with the two layers of peritoneum which cover respectively the antero-superior and postero-inferior surfaces of the stomach and first part of the duodenum.

    Diagram showing parts of the stomach. The human stomach can be divided into four sections, beginning at the cardia followed by the fundus, the body and the pylorus. [7] [8] The gastric cardia is where the contents of the esophagus empty from the gastroesophageal sphincter into the cardiac orifice, the opening into the gastric cardia.

  8. Gastrointestinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_tract

    The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal) is the tract or passageway of the digestive system that leads from the mouth to the anus.The GI tract contains all the major organs of the digestive system, in humans and other animals, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

  9. Greater omentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_omentum

    The greater omentum develops from the dorsal mesentery that connects the stomach to the posterior abdominal wall. During its development, the stomach undergoes its first 90° rotation along the axis of the embryo, so that posterior structures are moved to the left and structures anterior to the stomach are shifted to the right.
