The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine. It is located between the stomach and the jejunum (the middle part of the small intestine). After foods combine with stomach acid, they move down into the duodenum where they mix with bile from the gall bladder, and digestive juices from the pancreas. Absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients begins in the duodenum.

it's spelled duodenum. it's around the first six inches of the small intestine. it's connected to the stomach. This section of the intestine breaks down most of the food.

It's spelled Duodenem. And it's the the first of three parts of your small intestine. Not a bad place, but not something I would want to kiss either ; )
