Duodenum
The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine that begins at the stomach outlet and continues for about 10-12" until it becomes the jejunum, which is the middle part of the small intestine; digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder empty into the duodenum where most food digestion occurs.
