A, As seen in a bit of jejunum which has been filled with alcohol and hardened.
It consists of the part generally known as the small intestines, the jejunum and ileum of human anatomy, and Fig.
The jejunum forms the upper two-fifths of the rest of the small intestine; it, like the ileum, is thrown into numerous convolutions and is attached by the mesentery to the posterior abdominal wall.
In the duodenum andjejunum the mucous membrane is thrown into a series of transverse pleats called valvulae conniventes (see fig.
The jejunum is the second portion of the small intestines, it derives its name from the latin word “jejunas,” meaning empty, because it was formerly supposed to be empty after death.
The jejunum is fastened to the posterior wall of the abdomen by an extensive fold of the mesentery.
The jejunum is about eight feet in length or two-fifths of the length of the small intestines.
The arteries which supply the jejunumare the branches of the superior mesenteric artery.
The mucous membrane of the jejunum and of the upper part of the ileum is not usually much reddened, and may be even paler than in health.
The latter of these authors says that the ileum and jejunum in the bodies of those who died of this disease were frequently found interspersed with tubercles, inflamed and ulcerated in different parts.
Mucous membrane of small intestine, showing arrangement of valvulae conniventes in successive portions of jejunum and ileum.
Those from the right side of the main vessel pass to the duodenum, pancreas, jejunum and ileum.
Next in the list is the 'ileum'; but it is difficult to say where the jejunum terminates and the ileum commences, except that the latter is usually one-fifth longer than the former.
When, also, there are in the duodenum and jejunum small portions of indigesta, the detection of the least quantity will be decisive.
There is an instance of coalition of the jejunumwith the liver, and Treuner parallels this case.
Fillion mentions an instance of recovery following the perforation of the jejunum by a piece of horn which had been swallowed.
The jejunum is the part of the tube long supposed to be an exception to this rule, but even in it one or two observers have found ulcers.
The following is an analysis of the eighty-two cases: The duodenum and jejunum presented the appearance of inflammatory hyperaemia in 12 cases.
In the remaining 19 cases the appearance of the duodenum and jejunum was not recorded, so that it was probably normal.
The mesentery proper is connected with the jejunum and ilium, the other mesenteries being called mesoc, mesocolon, mesorectum, etc.
Defn: The last, and usually the longest, division of the small intestine; the part between the jejunum and large intestine.
The jejunum and ileum are surrounded above and at the sides by the colon.
No perforation was discovered in either stomach or intestine, but on two coils of jejunum there were deep slits 3/4 inch long, extending through both peritoneal and muscular coats.
That in the jejunum and ileum or the small intestine proper, and in that alone, absorption and thus the tegumentary function, but nothing else, occurs, is well known.
The jejunum and ilium should first be removed together by seizing the gut with the left hand, keeping it on the stretch, and cutting with a pair of scissors through the mesentery close to its intestinal attachment.
The ileum is most liable to rupture, though several cases of rupture of the jejunum are on record.
The last, and usually the longest, division of the small intestine; the part between the jejunum and large intestine.
The mesentery proper is connected with the jejunum and ilium, the other mesenteries being called mesoc
