A member asked:
Why does jejunum have few vascular arcades and ileum has many?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More tissue : The jejunum is wider, its diameter being about 4 cm., and is thicker, more vascular, and of a deeper color than the ileum, so that a given length weighs more. Nearest the duodenum the mesenteric loops are primary, toward the ileocolic junction, secondary and tertiary loops are observed.
