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.
Most digestion occurs in the upper portion of the small intestine, called the duodenum. Below the duodenum is the jejunum, and then there is the last segment, called the ileum. About 5 percent of undigested food products are broken down in the ileum.This is why some people can have a small part of their intestine removed and still seem to digest most foods with little problem. Digestion of food that enters the small intestine is usually complete after three to ten hours.bout 5 percent of undigested food products are broken down in the ileum.
