Small Intestine

 

The Small intestine runs from the duodenum to the caecum, the start of the large bowel. In the adult it is between 20 and 30 ft long. It is divided into two parts: the jejunum and the ileum, although there is no clear dividing line between the two and they both have similar functions.
