Figure 5. Development of stomach and mesogastrium.
In (a), the stomach was still a tubular “proto-stomach” and its mesentery was continuous. In (b,c), the stomach began to expand and twist towards the left, and gastric mesentery was split into six sections. (d) indicates the process of clustering and coiling of gastric mesentery, and the mesentery were fused with the omentum as the last step.
