The first 12 inches is called the duodenum.

The common duct opens obliquely into the horseshoe bend of the duodenum.

59Showing the Relations of the Duodenum and Other Intestinal Organs.

The pancreas lies behind the stomach, across the body, from right to left, with its large head embraced in the horseshoe bend of the duodenum.

This duct at last enters the duodenum in company with the common bile duct.

Combined with the bile, this juice acts upon the large drops of fat which pass from the stomach into the duodenum and emulsifies them.

After digestion in the stomach has been going on for some time, successive portions of the semi-digested food begin to pass into the duodenum.

Duodenum (Lat. duodeni, twelve).

The chyme must pass into the duodenum and other portions of intestine beyond the stomach, and be retained there for some time, before it will form perfect chyle.

For, suppose the chyme to be perfect, though even this may be mere pulp, rather than chyme, and suppose it pass quietly along into the duodenum and other small intestines.

They are divided into small and great, by reason of their site and substance, slender or thicker: the slender is duodenum, or whole gut, which is next to the stomach, some twelve inches long, saith Fuschius.

A healthy puppy hardly ever knows when it has had enough, and it will, moreover, stuff itself with all sorts of garbage; acidity of the stomach follows, with vomiting of the ingesta, and diarrhoea succeeds, brought on by the acrid condition of the chyme, which finds its way into the duodenum.
