Meaning of "jejunal" in English

The term "jejunal" refers to anything related to the jejunum, which is the middle section of the small intestine between the duodenum and the ileum in humans and most vertebrates. The jejunum is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption during digestion. It is lined with finger-like projections called villi, which help increase the surface area for absorption. "Jejunal" is often used in medical contexts to describe conditions, functions, or procedures pertaining to this part of the intestine, such as jejunal feeding tubes or jejunal biopsies.
