Human Female Fetus - Midgut Herniation (10 week)

Large image version of plane D, close to midline (Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin) 0.5 mm scale bar

Gastrointestinal Development

Loops of the midgut can be seen lying outside the ventral body wall (midgut herniation) but still connected by their mesentery to the posterior body wall. Developing villi can be seen in cross-sections of the midgut. The extensive underlying submucosa is visible and the outer muscularis layer is developing.

The handgun within the body peritoneal cavity has a different histological appearance from the mid-gut.
