Platinum Health, LLC.: Duodenum

Diseases of the Duodenum: The stomach delivers its contents into the small intestine, which is about 24 feet in length. The first portion of the intestinal tract, the duodenum, is routinely evaluated during upper endoscopy. It is also the site where the hepatobiliary tract and pancreas deliver their contents to assist in the digestion of food.

Duodenal Papilla
The duodenal papilla is the site where the hepatobiliary and pancreatic ducts enter the duodenum.
