Content: Location of Parts of the Bowel
It is important to understand the different parts of the bowel when looking at possible causes of bowel pain. The small intestine is divided into three segments, whereas there are four regions in the large intestine. The small intestine includes the: Duodenum which is a C-shaped short segment of the small intestine that leads from the stomach. It lies in the upper middle region of the abdomen. Jejunum which is the middle segment of the small intestine leading from the duodenum. It is coiled in the middle of the abdomen. It is approximately the same length as the ileum. Ileum which is the last segment of the small intestine leading from the jejunum. It is also coiled in the middle of the abdomen and then ends where it joins the cecum of the large intestine.
