The jejunum.
The two parts are the small intestine and the thin intestine
The intestinal segment between the duodenum and ileum is the jejunum. It is the middle section of the small intestine and plays a key role in nutrient absorption.
The duodenum is in the digestive tract, and it forms the upper part of the small intestine. It connects the stomach to the jejunum, the middle part of the small intestine. A link can be found below.
The jejunum connects the duodenum to the ileum. It is the midsection of the small intestine. One of its jobs is to move food from the duodenum to the ilium. The jejunum also helps nutrients to be absorbed.
Maltase is produced by the brush border cells lining the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum and jejunum. These cells are responsible for absorbing nutrients, including sugars like maltose which maltase breaks down into glucose for absorption.
The small intestine and is involved in the process of digestion. nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, fats, and many vitamins and minerals are absorbed by your small intestine. the small intestine stretches from your stomach to the beginning of your large intestine. it is broken in to three distinct zones - the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ilium
There are 3 parts to the small intestine: the duodenum, jejunum and ilium(in that order after the stomach). The duodenum is the first part of the small intestines. It is relatively short (12 inches) and starts at the pyloric sphincter of the stomach, and connects it to the jejunum.
Ileum- the most distal part of the small intestine. ilium- the uppermost and largest bone of the pelvis.
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum

located in the wall of the distal portion of the small intestine.
The distal portion of the small intestine is the ileum. Note the difference in spelling from "ilium", which is a bone that fuses with the pubis and ischium to form the bony pelvis.
