The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine, situated between the stomach and the jejunum. Its primary function is to continue the process of digestion by receiving chyme from the stomach, along with bile from the liver and pancreatic juices. These secretions help neutralize stomach acid and break down nutrients, facilitating their absorption in the subsequent sections of the intestine. Additionally, the duodenum plays a role in regulating the digestive process through various hormonal signals.
