What's your favorite portion of the small intestine?

Sigmoid sulcus?

Illeum, the only one with topless towers!

The jejunum is just so . . . jejune. :frowning:

More interesting, perhaps, but I wouldn’t call it fun. “Duodenum” just puts a lilt in my voice and a skip in my step.

Yeah but I can feel those in my bones. It’s not just a gut feeling.

Circle of Willis.

Whatchotalkinbout?:smiley:

I find duodenum most interesting, as it’s more accessible in its entirety, via EGD. Terminal ilium is a bit visible via colonoscopy if you’re lucky, but that’s it.

I’d have to say the Ileum. Great book too.

You just say that because it’s (almost) an anagram of your username.

:smiley:

Sorry to hijack but I think it’s necessary for someone (me) to sing the praises of the large intestine.

We’re allowed one name change, right?

Oh Tuba

That’s why I like it.

An inflamed duodenum landed me in a hospital room for several days, so no way I’m going for that sucker - betrayers get no love!!!

Well, it’s in the way. Please move your bowels.

Originally the poll was going to be large vs small intestine, but since everyone knows the large intestine is King among Kings, I figured it would be even more boring than this one.

Duodenum is winning in a landslide… no surprise to me there.

I am shocked… SHOCKED to see the perverts who are voting for the ileum though! :smiley:

I’m sorry, that’s threadshitting.

I just like the villi. The beauty is in the detail…

Boiled, baked or sauteed?

I voted for jejunum. There are damned few words with two Js, and they need all the love they can get.

Yeah, sorry. The Large is the only portion of the intestines that I’ve ever examined in detail. The rest of them might be okay, but I’ve never seen any proof. My large intestine, though: pink as a baby’s bottom.

(They made a video and sent me hope with a polaroid. You can see the entrance of the appendix.)

Isn’t that where blood Plato-lets are made?
