Q

During the ___ week of IUL, the midgut loop elongates rapidly particularly its __arterial segment.

pre

growth of midgut

Q

The rotation of gut not only helps in return of herniated loops back into the abdominal cavity but also helps in establishing definitive relationships of various parts of the intestine.
T/F

A

The rotation of gut not only helps in return of herniated loops back into the abdominal cavity but also helps in establishing definitive relationships of various parts of the intestine. Therefore, students must clearly understand the steps of rotation. The herniated loops of intestine begin to return into the abdominal cavity at the end of the third month of IUL.
