In total, it reaches a length of approximately 5-6 meters in an adult. The shortest section is the duodenum, which is about 24 centimeters or 12 finger widths long. This is followed by the middle section of the intestine, the jejunum. This also marks the beginning of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The last section before the adjacent intestinum crassum is the ileum. There is no clearly demarcated transition between the jejunum and ileum.
