Detailed explanation-1: -The jejunum has a delicate feathery appearance and is located in the left upper abdomen. It can be differentiated from ileum by having a greater caliber, thicker and more numerous folds (see: jejunum vs ileum).
Detailed explanation-2: -Normal mucosal folds are the result of the action of the muscularis mucosa. In the jejunum and duodenum, they form 1 to 2 mm folds of invagination as they lie along the long axis of the gut in a random fashion, producing a feathery mucosal pattern; the intervening sulci are of equal width.
Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It 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 is part of the digestive system.
