Veins of the Jejunum

When it comes to the circulatory system, the first thing that comes to mind is the large arteries and vessels that permeate our body, like a path during a journey. But what about smaller veins, such as the veins of the small intestine? The veins of the jejunum are an important part of the digestive system, which plays a key role in the process of absorption of nutrients and the removal of metabolic products. In this article we will look at the physiology, anatomy and features of these blood vessels, as well as their role in the human body.

Veins of the Small Intestinal System As the name suggests, the veins of the jejunum are located in the thinnest part of this organ - in the area in front of the ascending colon. When examining the human body, the jejunal vein is seen to be located primarily in an anatomical connection with the abdominal wall. The same result occurs with the veins of the ileum and cecum. The configuration of the small intestinal vein is unique for each patient. It is not uncommon to encounter a situation where the vein of the small intestine has “branches” in the form of small vessels in this area. The direct connection between the vein of the large intestine and the vein of the small intestine is practically indestructible. A number of processes affecting the health of the gastrointestinal tract may depend on the occurrence of communications between these departments. Like the rest of the veins in our bloodstream, the vein of the small intestine functions to return blood back to the heart. Here, the fluid collected by the body is saturated with necessary chemical elements and substances useful for functioning. For the nutrition and survival of each individual organism, the blood must be constantly enriched with useful components, otherwise the functioning of all organs may be seriously impaired. Among the most important substances in plasma and blood components, it is customary to allocate water to 92%, mineral salts and water-soluble components to
