A member asked:
What are the ways that jejunum is suited for its function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomy 101: The jejunum is the middle segment of the small intestine (between the duodenum and the ileum). Most of the nutrients not taken up by the duodenum in food are absorbed by the jejunum before being passed on to the ileum for further processing and absorption.
