Which one of the following is the correct sequence in the order of decreasing length of the three structural parts given below of small intestine in the human body?
A
Jejunum – Duodenum- Ileum
B
Ileum- Duodenum- Jejunum
C
Jejunum- Ileum- Duodenum
D
Ileum- Jejunum- Duodenum
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. The small intestine in the human body consists of three structural parts: the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum.
2. In terms of decreasing length, the order is: Ileum (longest, about 3-4 meters) > Jejunum (about 2.5 meters) > Duodenum (shortest, about 25-30 cm).
3. Therefore, the correct sequence is Ileum - Jejunum - Duodenum.
