small intestine The part of the gut between the stomach and the large intestine, comprising consecutively the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. ‘Small’ because it is a narrower tube, though at about twenty feet a much longer one, than the ‘large’ intestine. It is covered by a membrane of peritoneum, and receives its blood vessels and nerves via the mesentery — a flat but fatty double membrane which fans out from the back of the abdomen to the loops of the small intestine. Digestion (started in the stomach) continues here, and absorption begins of the resulting simple nutrient molecules, and of water and minerals. The lining has many folds and protrusions (villi), and secretes mucus and
enzymes.
