jejunum
D
duodenum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The middle part of the small intestine. It is between the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) and the ileum (last part of the small intestine). The jejunum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jejunum: The middle section of the small intestine carries food through rapidly, with wave-like muscle contractions, towards the ileum. Ileum: This last section is the longest part of your small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine is coiled inside the lower abdominal cavity beneath the stomach. The large intestine surrounds it, framing the edges of the abdominal cavity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jejunum Overview It extends from the pyloric sphincter of the stomach to the ileocecal valve that connects the small intestine to the large intestine. The other two sections are called the duodenum and the ileum. The jejunum is located between the duodenum and the ileum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The middle part of your small intestine is the jejunum. The jejunum absorbs most of your nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, and vitamins.
