The small bowel (small intestine)

It is a lengthy tube (4–6 m) that absorbs vitamins and minerals from food. It is longer but narrower than the massive bowel. It has three materials: • duodenum – the primary element of the small bowel; receives damaged-down food from the belly • jejunum – the middle component of the small bowel • ileum – the final and longest portion of the small bowel; transfers waste matter to the enormous bowel.
