Changes in small intestinal geometry, residual strain and stress-strain properties during physiological growth were studied in rats ranging from 1 to 32 weeks of age. Small intestinal mass and dimensions increased many-fold with age, e.g. the weight per unit length increased five-fold with age and the wall cross-sectional area increased four-fold. The opening angle of duodenum obtained at zero-stress state was approximately 220degrees and 290degrees during the first and second week after birth and decreased to 170degrees at other ages (p < 0.005). The opening angle of ileum ranged between 120degrees and 150degrees. The residual strain of duodenum at the mucosal surface did not vary with age (p > 0.05) whereas the residual strain of ileum at the mucosal surface decreased with age (p
