Duodenum
The
duodenum or also known as
dodecadactylum, is the first section of the
small intestine in most
higher vertebrates, including
mammals,
reptiles, and
birds. In
fish, the divisions of the small intestine are not as clear, and the terms
anterior intestine or
proximal intestine may be used instead of duodenum. In mammals the duodenum may be the principal site for iron absorption.
