The morphogenetic events that occur in the development of villi in human fetal colon were observed by light microscopy as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. At 9 wk, the colon is a simple tube composed of pseudostratified columnar epithelium and mesenchyme. By 10 wk, up to 8 longitudinal ridges have formed by an elongation of individual epithelial cells. Even as the ridges are forming, the bases of some of the ridges become indented with mesenchyme, thus forming longitudinal mucosal folds. By 11.5 wk, these have folded in a concertina fashion formimg a longitudinal zig-zag pattern. From 10.5, small lumina develop within the epithelium near to its base. At this stage, they are not in continuity with the main lumen. Extension of these lumina to the main luminal surface and exfoliation of redundant cells result in division of the zig-zag folds into braod primary villi. Division of the primary villi occurs when cyst-like structures which develop within the pseudostratified columnar epithelium of the primary villi enlarge and extend to the lumen. Together with upgrowth of mesenchyme this results in small secondary villi with simple columnar epithelium.
