The gut tube forms in the midline of the embryo in the abdominal region.
The gut tube forms in the midline of the embryo in the abdominal region. Initially, this tube is suspended from the dorsal abdominal wall by a double layer of peritoneum called the dorsal mesogastrium and attached to the ventral body wall by the ventral mesogastrium. As development progresses, the ventral mesgastrium atrophies caudal to the pylorus of the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] and cranial to the [[Rectum - Anatomy & Physiology|rectum]]. Therefore, this region is only suspended by dorsal mesentry.
