The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine, situated between the duodenum and the ileum. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, particularly carbohydrates and proteins. The jejunum has a thicker wall and more vascularity compared to the other sections of the small intestine, which aids in nutrient absorption. Its inner lining contains numerous folds and villi that increase the surface area for efficient nutrient uptake.
