- Lengths of first 3 parts of the digestive system after the stomach i.e. Duodenum, Jejunum and Ileum:
To remember the lengths , remember the story of a tiger, which ate a dozen doctors who had gone to the forest for a picnic, including the famous Doctor Indiana Jones. News reported in Radio: One (tiger) Ate 12 (1-8-12) , including Dr. Indiana Jones referring to 1, 8 and 12 feets, which are the respective lengths of Duodenum, Ileum and Jejunum.
- Lengths of 4 parts of Duodenum ( Remember : 1-2-3-4 = 2-3-4-1 ) :
1st part = 2 inches
2nd part = 3"
3rd part = 4"
4th part = 1"
the first mnemonic says that duodenum is 30cm i.e 12 inches
ReplyDeleteand the second tells it is 25cm i.e 10 inches
the second is correct i know... the first can confuse us.
and i just missed to see that the info is not correct
ReplyDeleteJejunum is smaller than ileum
it should be 8 feet jejunum and 12 feet ileum..
actually jejunum is 3-6 feet and ileum is 6-12 feet.
