jejunum

Her body would not accept nutrition via the stomach, the upper intestine (jejunum, a J-tube) or intravenously (TPN).

Rubino's prior research has shown that the primary mechanisms by which gastrointestinal bypass procedures control diabetes specifically rely on the bypass of the upper small intestine — the duodenum and jejunum.

> into the nose It's not going into the nose, it's going into the jejunum (the intestines) via a nasojejunal tube, which is placed up your nose.

When LDX was perfused into isolated segments of rat duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, it was absorbed into the systemic circulation; however, LDX was not absorbed during perfusion into colonic segments.

>her hardware expands to turn her bedroom into a dim, electrified jejunum I'd like to think I'm well read, but who the hell pulls "jejunum" out of their duodenum!

Funnily enough, there's a whole segment of people who simply know words like duodenum, jejunum, etc because a large segment of Metal Gear Solid 2 took place inside the "intestines" of a giant submersible vehicle.

This gel is infused with various enzymes to break down foods in the duodenum, and then passes to the first and second half of the "zig-zag" parts of the small intestine -- the jejunum and the ileum.

The combination of fibers then leads to a given packet of calories traveling further down the jejunum as it gets absorbed, which makes more of the bacteria living along the length of the intestine happy with you, as well as protecting from blood glucose spikes that come with concomitant "crashes".
