Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The distal opening into the duodenum is formed by the ostium pyloricum with the pylorus (gastric sphincter/gastric gate). This regulates the amount of food pulp in the stomach that is delivered to the small intestine. The upper part of the duodenum (pars superior) is located under the right liverlobe and is connected to it by the ligamentum hepaduodenale. In addition, this part is in close proximity to the gallbladder. The right kidney and adrenal gland are found close to the adjacent part of the pars descendens.
