The small intestine is composed of a duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
The majority of digestion occurs in the duodenum while the majority of absorption occurs in the jejunum.
The duodenum precedes the jejunum and ileum and is the shortest part of the small intestine, where most chemical digestion takes place.
Villus length and crypt depth were measured in the ileum, jejunum and duodenum and recorded for all animals.
The jejunum was the most heavily parasitized region.
