Content: The duodenum is the shortest part of the small intestine, measuring less than 10 inches long, and continues the digestive process that the stomach has started. The jejunum is where the majority of the absorption of nutrients takes place. The ileum is the longest part of the small intestine and is responsible for the absorption of B12 and the final processing of carbohydrates and proteins. The end of the ileum is where the small and large intestine meet and it's also where the appendix is located. Was this answer helpful? 2
