title: [Mathematical models applied to the growth of the ovine stomach during intrauterine life].
abstract: One hundred forty four ovine embryos and feti were used in an investigation to determine mathematical models describing the histomorphometric growth of tissues and compartments of the ruminant stomach. The results indicate that during prenatal life the diameter of the gastric chambers increase more slowly than the length. The tissue layers of the gastric walls, particularly the muscular tunic of all compartments demonstrated a uniform tendency toward more rapid development than the compartment walls proper.
