Gastrointestinal Tract - Duodenum

The small intestine can be described by three regions starting from the stomach they are the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.

Highlighted in this cartoon is Duodenum (tractus intestinalis duodenum) the initial segment of the small intestine (or bowel) length. In the adult it is about 25 cm length.

Intestinal Regions

Small intestine or bowel length

  • Duodenum (adult 25 cm length)
  • Jejunum (adult 1.4 m length)
  • Ileum (adult 3.5 m length)

Large intestine or bowel

  • Cecum (caecum)
    • Vermiform appendix ("appendix", adult 2 to 20 cm length)
  • Colon
    • Ascending colon (adult 25 cm length)
    • Transverse colon
    • Descending colon
    • Sigmoid colon
