Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The duodenum forms a C-loop which is open to the left and can be localized to the right of the spine in the upper abdomen. A projection to the vertebral bodies includes the region of the L I-III or L IV vertebrae. Frequently, the duodenum lies posterior to the transverse colon of the large intestine and accommodates the caput pancreatis in its curve.
