Description

The jejunum is the second part of the small intestine, located between the duodenum and the ileum. It plays a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients from digested food.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'yeyuno' may be confused with 'ileon' (ileum) due to similar sounds. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms when discussing intestinal anatomy. Always use the canonical term in clinical contexts.

Example Sentences

EN: The jejunum is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption in the small intestine.

ES: El yeyuno es responsable de la mayor parte de la absorción de nutrientes en el intestino delgado.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'jejunum' with 'ileum'; mispronouncing 'yeyuno' as 'yeyuna'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
