Detailed explanation-1: -duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, which receives partially digested food from the stomach and begins the absorption of nutrients. The duodenum is the shortest segment of the intestine and is about 23 to 28 cm (9 to 11 inches) long.
Detailed explanation-2: -It connects to the stomach. The duodenum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. It absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body. The small intestine connects the stomach and the colon.
Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine consists of three parts. The first part, called the duodenum, connects to the stomach. The middle part is the jejunum. The third part, called the ileum, attaches to the colon.
Detailed explanation-4: -The duodenum is the first of the three parts of the small intestine that receives partially digested food from the stomach and begins with the absorption of nutrients. It is directly attached to the pylorus of the stomach.
Detailed explanation-5: -Although it is a single organ, several different parts of the stomach exist: the fundus, body, antrum and pylorus. Food passes through the pylorus and into the duodenum where further digestion occurs.
