The rest of the small intestine completely fills the peritoneal cavity. In some places, it has specific constrictions, where a particular danger can arise from possibly stuck solid bodies, which then massively disrupt the function of the intestine. These include the transition from the pylorus to the duodenum, the transition from the duodenum to the jejunum (flexura duodenojejunalis) and the transition from the ileum to the colon (ostium ileale).
