    The small intestine forms loops (B2) and slides back into the abdomen (B3) during resolution of the hernia. Meanwhile, the cecum moves from the left to the right side, which represents the additional 180° counterclockwise rotation of the intestine (C, central view). [3] In the process of lengthening growth, the intestinal duct herniates and ...

    The small intestine forms loops (B2) and slides back into the abdomen (B3) during resolution of the hernia. Meanwhile, the cecum moves from the left to the right side, which represents the additional 180° counterclockwise rotation of the intestine (C, central view). [4] The exact cause of intestinal malrotation is unknown.

  4. 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.

  5. Foregut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foregut

    Beyond the stomach, the foregut is attached to the abdominal walls by mesentery. The foregut arises from the endoderm, developing from the folding primitive gut, and is developmentally distinct from the midgut and hindgut. Although the term “foregut” is typically used in reference to the anterior section of the primitive gut, components of ...

    Arterial supply to the midgut is from the superior mesenteric artery, an unpaired branch of the aorta.Venous drainage is to the portal venous system. Lymph from the midgut drains to prevertebral superior mesenteric nodes located at the origin of the superior mesenteric artery from the aorta.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrulation

    Gastrulation is the stage in the early embryonic development of most animals, during which the blastula (a single-layered hollow sphere of cells), or in mammals the blastocyst, is reorganized into a two-layered or three-layered embryo known as the gastrula. [1]

    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.
