Study of Morphometric Changes of Foetal Stomach

Abstract

BACKGROUND Interest in human development is very widespread largely because of the curiosity about our beginnings and desire to improve the quality of life. Understanding of the processes involved in the formation of various organs and systems has unrevealed most cryptic secrets of the nature. Human development begins at fertilisation when a male gamete or sperm unites with a female gamete or oocyte to form a single cell, a zygote. With the formation of zygote (single-celled stage), foetal development begins. The aim of the study is to-1) Study the morphometric parameters of foetal stomach at various gestational ages. 2) Compare these observations with the previous studies.
