Intestine Transplant. What Is the Small Intestine? The small intestine is made up of three segments, which form a passage from your stomach the opening between your stomach and small intestine is called the pylorus to your large intestine: Duodenum: This short section is the part of the small intestine that takes in semi-digested food from your stomach through the pylorus, and continues the digestion process.
The duodenum also uses bile from your gallbladder, liver, and pancreas to help digest food. Jejunum: The middle section of the small intestine carries food through rapidly, with wave-like muscle contractions, towards the ileum. Ileum: This last section is the longest part of your small intestine.
The ileum is where most of the nutrients from your food are absorbed before emptying into the large intestine. How can the small intestine digest so much? The small intestine has three features which allow it to have such a huge absorptive surface area packed into a relatively small space: Mucosal folds: The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat, but thrown into circular folds. This not only increases the surface area, but helps regulate the flow of digested food through your intestine.
Villi: The folds form numerous tiny projections which stick out into the open space inside your small intestine or lumen , and are covered with cells that help absorb nutrients from the food that passes through. Microvilli: The cells on the villi are packed full of tiny hairlike structures called microvilli.
This helps increase the surface of each individual cell, meaning that each cell can absorb more nutrients. What Is the Large Intestine? The large intestine is made up of the following parts: Cecum: This first section of your large intestine looks like a pouch, about two inches long. It takes in digested liquid from the ileum and passes it on to the colon.
Colon: This is the major section of the large intestine; you may have heard people talk about the colon on its own. The colon is also the principal place for water reabsorption, and absorbs salts when needed. The colon consists of four parts: Ascending colon: Using muscle contractions, this part of the colon pushes any undigested debris up from the cecum to a location just under the right lower end of the liver.
Transverse colon: Food moves through this second portion of the colon, across your front or anterior abdominal wall, traveling from left to right just under your stomach.
Descending colon: The third portion of colon pushes its contents from just near the spleen , down to the lower left side of your abdomen. Sigmoid colon: The final S-shaped length of the colon, curves inward among the coils of your small intestine, then empties into the rectum. Rectum: The final section of digestive tract measures from 1 to 1.
