Parts and Functions of the small intestine
The small intestine is a part of the gastrointestinal tract located between the stomach and colon. The small intestine consists of three parts, namely duodenum (duodenal), empty intestine (jejunum), and intestinal absorption (ileum). In the duodenum, there are two lines of the pancreas and the gallbladder. Duodenum
The duodenum is a part of the small intestine that is located after the stomach and connects it to the empty intestine (jejunum) with a length between 25-38 cm. The duodenum is the shortest part of the small intestine, starting from the Bulbo Duodenale and terminates in Treitz ligament. The duodenum is responsible for channeling food to the small intestine. Histologically, there is the Brunner gland that produces mucus. The intestinal wall of the duodenum is composed of very thin layers of cells that form the mucosa muscle. In the duodenum, the enzyme produced from the intestinal wall. Such enzymes are necessary for chemically digesting food.
