In the early stages of pregnancy, the intestine develops within the umbilical cord. Weeks later it moves inside the foetus' abdomen. But where an unborn child has gastroschisis, the abdominal wall does not completely form. It results in the intestines growing outside the body. Around one in 3,000 babies are born with the condition in the UK, each year. As soon as the child is born the condition requires immediate treatment.
Glands lining the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid that dissolves food particles and protein-digesting enzymes, called pepsin. Final stages of digestion and most of the nutrient absorption occurs in next portion of the tract: the small intestine. The small intestine is divided into 3 segments-duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach. From its exocrine portion it secretes (1) digestive enzymes and (2) a fluid rich in HCO 3- ions to neutralize the acid from stomach. The liver secretes bile.
