Detailed explanation-1: -At 8 to 10 inches long, the duodenum is the first and shortest section of the small intestine. The duodenum is connected to the stomach, allowing food particles to leave the stomach to course through the intestines. The function of the duodenum is to mix food with enzymes and bile to digest it.
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.
