| Almost all the body's nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, along its three sub-divisions: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. |
| The transverse colon joins the descending colon, and in the same region five cross sections of jejunum can be identified. |
| The small bowel showed 5 atretic lesions of the jejunum and absence of the dorsal mesentery. |
| At autopsy, the jejunum revealed multiple blue-black areas in the bowel wall and mesentery. |
| The next portion of the intestine is called the jejunum, because it is usually empty after death. |
| In the various sections of the small intestine, the jejunum was the most common area of wall thickening. |
