name of this part of the bowel can guess that it is small.Twelve fingers ... Current evidence suggests that its length - 25-30 centimeters.As you can see, it is not long.But it is isolated in a separate part of the small intestine, which also include the lean and ileum.Where is the duodenum and what it busy?
projection of her skin is in the epigastric region.This space in the stomach, a limited bottom line, which can be carried out at the lower end edges and the sides of the field are descending arc edges.
If we talk about the function of the duodenum, it is necessary to mention two - chemical transformation of food and its absorption.In this department it absorbed most of the iron, because of the gut mucosal disease can be accompanied by symptoms of anemia.
These ducts open on the digestive glands, and therefore it becomes possible to effectively digestion.Between the stomach and intestine this is a barrier for food - the gatekeeper, which regulates the transition from the stomach into the small intestine.However, sometimes the food is going in the opposite direction - under intense vomiting out of human food mass in the bile, and bile mixed with food only in the duodenum.
food that comes into the small intestine from the stomach is an extremely high acidity, so big that it can provoke ulcers.Fortunately, this does not normally occur, because the wall of the duodenum are brunnerovy glands that secrete weakly alkaline substance to neutralize incoming tolerable acid to values for gut.What is the duodenum?
structure can not be described without the reporting of ducts extending from the digestive glands.This is an interesting question because different people can be the structural features of the area.In certain areas of the intestine, Vater papilla, may fall as one or two ducts.For most people, it is one.But not only this is different.Yet sometimes there is an extra duct from the pancreas, however, is the exception rather than the rule.
digestion involved not only large cancer (liver with pancreas), but also their own bowel cancer.They activate enzymes more iron.In the duodenum come directly from the ducts and the liver and the gall bladder.Sometimes, when the bladder stones, they may enter the intestine and injure it.Bile helps breakdown of fat, and therefore in the intestine begins their absorption.
duodenum also able to throw out substances that cause the gatekeeper to open, you should only eat a new batch of food.She also plays a role in the formation of hunger.Furthermore, the intestinal tract by hormone affects the liver, causing the last longer secrete bile.
It duodenum is removed from the process of digestion surgeon when operations are carried out for the treatment of obesity.This proved a key role in the absorption of the intestine.Indeed, the man abruptly starts to get a lot less calories, but becomes a sort of disability, so reasonable people find other ways of treatment.
absorbed in the small intestine the food is much more than in the stomach.But this does not say much, because the gut does not give itself the signals of hunger, as it makes the stomach.And because it begin to pay attention only when the illness began.
This is an unusual organ because, being short, it is an area that would have to have a gut length 500m.How is it possible?The fact villi, folds and dimples, which increase the area of absorption.
This body is a lot of secrets.Maybe it is you they penetrate?
