From: The growth pattern of the human intestine and its mesentery
Changes in length and diameter of the small intestine and umbilical orifice. Panel a: The midgut (circles) increases much faster in length than the entire embryo (squares). Panel b: The diameter of the umbilical orifice (open triangles) is ~4-fold larger than the outer diameter of the gut tube (circles) throughout the herniation period. Panel c: length mesenteric rod vs dorsoventral depth of abdominal cavity
