Human Small Intestine - Jejunum and Ileum

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 jejunum and ileum. The adult ileum contains specialised aggregated lymphoid nodules known as Peyer's patches.
