Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jejunum. After chemical digestion in the duodenum, food moves into the jejunum, where the muscle work of digestion picks up. Nerves in the intestinal walls trigger its muscles to churn food back and forth (segmentation), mixing it with digestive juices.

Detailed explanation-3: -(jeh-JYOO-num) 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.
