Digestive system abnormalities
Digestive System Abnormalities are a set of conditions resulting from problems which took place during fetal development. The human digestive system, or gut, is one of the first to appear in a growing fetus and undergoes a complicated development process. Small disruptions in this process can result in atresia (a closed or missing part of the gut), stricture (a very narrow passage in the gut), or the loss of muscle control needed to push food through the gut.
