	Jejunum
		In anatomy of the digestive system, the jejunum is the central of the three divisions of the small intestine and lies between the duodenum and the ileum.
		The pH in the jejunum is usually between 7 and 8 (neutral or slightly alkaline).
		The inner surface of the jejunum, its mucous membrane, is covered in projections called villi, which increase the surface area of tissue available to absorb nutrients from the gut contents.

		The movement of barium through the duodenum and proximal jejunum may be so rapid (with to-and-fro motion and reverse peristalsis which can be dramatic at times) that multiple fluoroscopic spot films and a considerable quantity of barium are often necessary to adequately visualize mucosal detail in the involved areas.
		Mucosal folds in the duodenum and jejunum are thickened and spiked and there is segmentation and fragmentation of the barium column due to the combination of irritability, mucosal edema, and increased secretions.
		There is marked irritability of the duodenal C loop and proximal jejunum with distortion and thickening of the valvulae conniventes.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Jejunum free flap in hypopharynx reconstruction: Case series
		Jejunum interposition is generally considered the best reconstructive technique when the distal neoplastic margin does not macroscopically extend more than 2 cm below the inferior bord of cricoid [12-15].
		The perfusion of the flap was assessed and confirmed by the almost immediate return of peristalsis, by the visceral secretion in the jejunum loop, by the bleeding of the segment and by the restoration of the shiny pink colour of the serosa.
		The choice of the jejunum free flap depends both on the general conditions of the patient and on the extent of the cancer.

	Jejunum
		The jejunum is the second part with the entire small bowel being over 20 feet long.

		Jejunum is a part of the small bowel, located between the distal end of duodenum and the proximal part of ileum.
		The diameter of jejunum, especially the proximal part, is larger than that of the distal ileum, and the wall of jejunum is thicker.
		Jejunum is not easily accessed by a routine endoscope in a normal patients, but a considerable part of it can be examined in patients who have gone through gastric surgery of the Billroth II type.

	Jejunum and Ileum
		The jejunum and ileum is slung from the posterior abdominal wall by the mesentery of the small intestines and, therefore, is extremely mobile.
		The ileum and jejunum are supplied by the superior mesenteric artery and its intestinal branches.
		One way to tell the ileum from the jejunum, other than by general location, is that there are more layers of arcades before the vasa recta are given off, in the ileum.

	The Small Intestine
		Both the duodenum and the jejunum are characterized by modifications of the submucosa.
		*The jejunum is characterized by the presence of numerous, large folds in the submucosa, called plicae circulares (aka valves of Kerckring).* The plicae consist of a core of submucosa and the overlying mucosa.
		The plicae in the jejunum tend to be taller and thinner.

		Note the smooth tube-like appearance of the fourth portion of the duodenum and proximal jejunum with dilatation and mucosal atrophy, in addition to the changes in the second portion of the duodenum resembling the reverse 3 configuration seen with enlargement of the pancreatic head.
		The radiological changes in the duodenum and jejunum are due to advanced inflammatory changes, fibrosis and thickening of the intestinal wall as well as involvement of the myenteric plexi.
		The changes of fixation, narrowing, rigidity, and poor peristalsis in the duodenum and proximal jejunum are usually, but not inevitably, irreversible at this stage, whereas the mucosal edema and irritability seen in the mid- and distal jejunum may be reversible with proper treatment.
