The duodenum is a short portion of the small intestine connecting it to the stomach. It is about 10 inches (25 cm) long, while the entire small intestine measures about 20 feet (6.5 meters).
Duodenum is the first part of small intestine that joints the stomach at the pylorus. It is a C-shaped tube, about 10 inches long. It lies between the stomach and jejunum and is very important because it receives the openings of the bile and pancreatic ducts.
