Duodeno-Jejunal Pocket

The duodenal and jejunal pouches belong to the digestive system, which allows the absorption of nutrients from food. They are found inside the human body and are associated with the stomach and small intestine. Each of these pockets plays an important role in our body, but sometimes they can become a site for the development of diseases.

1. Duodenal tripling

The first tripling of the stomach is the beginning of a long digestive tract, which includes the duodenal system. At the end of the stomach there is a narrow channel called the bulb, through which food passes into the duodenum. This is where the first tripling is located - the duodenum.

The duodenal system consists of two stomachs and one small intestine. The first two stomachs are called proximal and distal. The proximal stomach has a larger volume than the distal one; it plays an important role in transporting food further along the digestive tract. The distal stomach is involved in the process of digesting food.
