title: [Development of the digestive system. Medico-dietetic implications in infants].
abstract: The development of the human gastrointestinal tract starts in early intrauterine life. In spite of this early start of the functional differentiation of its tissues, the GI tract function is still incomplete at the end of gestation. This report reviews the physiological and biochemical aspects of the gastrointestinal ontogeny which have medical and dietetical implications in the first year of life of infants.
