GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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 jejunum is the middle part of the small intestine, between the duodenum and ileum. Most digestion and nutrient absorption takes place in the jejunum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary function of the jejunum is to absorb sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids. Both the jejunum and ileum are peritoneal. The ileum absorbs any remaining nutrients that did not get absorbed by the duodenum or jejunum, in particular vitamin B12, as well as bile acids that will go on to be recycled.

Detailed explanation-4: -A long tube-like organ that connects the stomach and the large intestine. It is about 20 feet long and folds many times to fit inside the abdomen. The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It helps to further digest food coming from the stomach.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the jejunum and the ileum, the mucosa secretes small amounts of digestive enzymes and lubricating mucus while absorbing nutrients from your food. Each section is designed to absorb different nutrients, as well as water.
