Detailed explanation-1: -The first part of the small intestine. It connects to the stomach. The duodenum 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The duodenal bulb (first part) is supplied by the right gastric artery and right gastro-epiploic artery. The duodenum (C loop) shares its blood supply very intimately with the head of the pancreas, which lies in its concavity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The duodenum is the initial C-shaped segment of the small intestine and is a continuation of the pylorus. Distally, it is in continuation with the jejunum and ileum, with the proximal segment being the shortest and widest. Positioned inferiorly to the stomach, the duodenum is approximately 25 to 30 cm long.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first part of the duodenum is mobile, and connected to the liver by the hepatoduodenal ligament of the lesser omentum. The first part of the duodenum ends at the corner, the superior duodenal flexure. The second part, or descending part, of the duodenum begins at the superior duodenal flexure.
