Green ring = ventral body wall
- a, b Primary intestinal loop before rotation (lateral view). The superior mesenteric artery forms the axis of the loop and of subsequent rotation.
- c–e Counter-clockwise rotation of the gut occurs through 270° concomitantly with herniation of the small intestinal loops followed by return of the gut to the abdominal cavity during the third month of gestation.
Original reference figure[1] based upon another figure.[2] Note these are gestational weeks, subtract 2 weeks to get approximate weeks post-conception (fertilisation).
