What is Midgut?
6 It precedes it, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, abdominal, gallbladder and the highest part of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. After Midgut comes Hindgut, which consists of a transverse colon segment, descending and sigmoid intestine and rectum - all parts of the large intestine. Midgut includes the last two of the four parts of the duodenum. It is a jejunum and ileum, which are also parts of the small intestine, and in the large intestine, cecum, ascending large intestine and upper two thirds of the transverse colon. These channels are only a few centimeters below the pylorus, the entrance from the stomach to the small intestine, and are located in the so -called descending part of the duodenum. They supply enzymes through pancreatic juice and bile, produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder near that they break food into its macronutrient parts: carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
from there Midgut winds the distal orThe lower two parts of the duodenum and enters the Junu in the middle of the small intestine. Junum is a place where many nutrients liberated in the duodenal are absorbed through epithelial cells in the intestinal wall, including glucose and carbohydrates, protein amino acids and several vitamins and minerals. Unabsorbed nutrients and water continue ileum, another part of the small intestine. Thje place where other undigested nutrients are absorbed, including vitamin B₁₁, fatty acids and glycerol from fat breakdown, as well as by -products such as bile salts.
under the Midgut is CECUM, which signals the beginning of the large intestine, part of the digestive tract responsible for the absorption of water, salt and several remaining vitamins, and also for the removal of waste from the body. The curve suddenly up from Cecum is an ascending large intestine, which then suddenly turns 90 degrees to form a transverse colon. The transverse large intestine is more or less level with the upper borders of Midgut. The first two -thirds of its length are included in the center,While the remaining length is the beginning of Hindgut only the adjacent spleen.
