Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine, which is directly connected to the stomach, is 3 to 5 meters long end-to-end. It is made up of three sections known as the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The inside wall of the small intestine has folds in it, like the body of an accordion.
Detailed explanation-4: -The small intestine has three segments. The first segment, the duodenum, is connected to the stomach. The second segment is the jejunum and the final segment, the ileum, connects to the colon, also known as the large intestine.
