How would you anatomically feature jejunum from ileum?

The video describes how to differentiate the jejunum from the ileum on a cadaver. It describes the peritoneal relations of the small intestine, the thickness of the wall and the density of the plicae circulares, it also provides an account of the branching pattern of the jejunal and ileal vessels in the mesentery, the arcades and vasa recta. A description of the ligament of Treitz including its attachments, content and function is provided.

This video is part of a playlist of short videos which are intended to combine multiple choice questions answering experience with an improved understanding of anatomy.

Considering the descriptive nature of anatomy, and the importance of illustrations in grasping and remembering anatomical relationships, diagrams are added. However, they should not be expected to accompany questions in an actual examination setting. In this case, the student should visualize these relations in his/her mind's eye before attempting to answer the question.
