Human Fetal Small Intestine Length

Graph based on data from FitzSimmons J, Chinn A, Shepard TH. (1988)[1][2]

  • 58 fetuses received in the Central Laboratory for Human Embryology between January 1, 1987, and July 1, 1988
  • no abnormalities noted on autopsy
  • measured from the esophagogastric junction to the pelvic floor
  • measurements of stomach, small and large intestines, and appendix length were made and correlated with gestational age as determined by foot length
  • overall growth of the gastrointestinal tract and each component was linear with respect to gestational age
  • gastrointestinal tracts of aneuploid fetuses fell within the normal range until approximately 20 weeks gestation, after which growth decreased


Note original data based upon gestational age (LMP), post-fertilization age has only been calculated for this current graph. For educational purposes only.
