Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine (5-7 m), followed by the jejunum and ileum (in that order); it is also the widest and shortest (25 cm) part of the small intestine. The duodenum is a C-shaped or horseshoe-shaped structure that lies in the upper abdomen near the midline (see the image below).

Detailed explanation-2: -The duodenum is a short structure ranging from 20–25 cm (8–10 in) in length, and shaped like a “C". It surrounds the head of the pancreas. It receives gastric chyme from the stomach, together with digestive juices from the pancreas (digestive enzymes) and the liver (bile).

Detailed explanation-3: -The duodenum is the shortest section, on average measuring from 20 cm to 25 cm in length. Its proximal end is connected to the antrum of the stomach, separated by the pylorus, and the distal end blends into the beginning of the jejunum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first part of the small intestine. It connects to the stomach. The duodenum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach.

Detailed explanation-5: -Duodenum. The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine that the stomach feeds into. It’s a short, descending chute (about 10 inches long) that curves around the pancreas in a “C” shape before connecting to the rest of the coiled intestines.
