The narrow, winding, upper part of the intestine where digestion is completed and nutrients are absorbed by the blood. It extends from the pylorus to the cecum and consists of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Also calledsmall bowel. ...
The mesenteric small bowel is the portion of the gastrointestinal tract which begins at the duodenojejunal flexure and ends at the ileocecal valve. It is 3 m long and it is divided into jejunum and ileum. It is attached to the posterior abdominal wall by fan-shaped mesentery which ...
The diagram was created using BioRender. b, H&E images of tissues from ST experiments. Capture area within the fiducial frame is 6.5 ×6.5 mm. P7 and P8 maintain the circular-fold anatomy marked with green asterisk for circular fold top and green diamond for circular fold bottom. Spot ...
Interestingly, Thompson was so discouraged by his results that he concluded that “the use of prosthetic materials is not likely to be used in the clinical management of short bowel syndrome.” Shortly after publication of this study, our laboratory, in collaboration with Robert Langer's group, ...
In patients with short bowel syndrome, an elevated pre-resection Body Mass Index may be protective of post-resection body composition. We hypothesized that rats with diet-induced obesity would lose less lean body mass after undergoing massive small bowel resection compared to non-obese rats. Rats ...

AnatomyDigestionPhysiologyA review of the gut embryologic process provides a framework for understanding the function of the small bowel as well as the pathways that may lead to small intestinal disease. For the purpose of this review, the development of the small intestine is briefly examined ...

The distinctive course, coiled nature, and position of the small bowel are provided by the mesentery. The most characteristic gross anatomic feature of the jejunum and ileum is their organization into a series of bowel loops, compactly arranged in the midabdomen. In the routine interpretation of...
