While the theoretical aspect of the topic are presented in a manner allowing self-directed learning the practical aspects provide little direction, set no tasks and do not guide the student as to what might be done as a useful exercise.
If the objectives of the laboratory class are to improve the student's practical skills then simulations generally are not able to replace the practical class.
A better use might be as a supplement for real experiments which have failed but which have given the student a taste of the real laboratory problems.

 Jejunum and Ileum
The duodenum, jejunum and ileum make up the small intestine.
These straight vessels are end arteries and if they should be occluded, the part of the intestine supplied by them will die.
The jejunum and ileum is slung from the posterior abdominal wall by the mesentery of the small intestines and, therefore, is extremely mobile.

 Surgical Resection of Jejunum for Crohn's Disease?
Should the diseased segment in the jejunum be resected?

Aqeel Al-Aqeel, MD, FRCSC

Response

from, 05/31/2002
This question is as difficult as the disease itself is enigmatic.
This somewhat aggressive approach may be precluded in patients who require extensive bowel resection(s) for far-advanced disease because of the attendant risk of intestinal failure ("short gut syndrome").
The majority of patients who present with symptoms of intestinal Crohn's disease will eventually require resection and, unfortunately, many will face the prospect of further surgery for recurrence.

 Re: gastrojejunostomy
A gastrojejunostomy is a surgical procedure in which the stomach (gastro) and the upper small bowel (jejunum) are sewn to each other.
Ordinarily, the stomach is separated from the jejunum by the first portion of the small bowel, the duodenum.
This can be done perhaps to bypass a blockage of the jejunum that occurs between the two jejunal segments of the ostomy.

 Jejunum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In anatomy of the digestive system, the jejunum is the central of the three divisions of the small intestine and lies between the duodenum and the ileum.
Jejunum is derived from the adjective jejune, which means "fasting" or "hungry" in Early Modern English.
The inner surface of the jejunum, its mucous membrane, is covered in projections called villi, which increase the surface area of tissue available to absorb nutrients from the gut contents.

But the "invasins," the proteins that mediate the next step in the infection process, are produced by the bacteria only after they bind to the intestinal cell.
Konkel's lab recently identified the first of these "adhesins." Bacteria always display their adhesins on their surfaces, for there would not be enough time to make and display them after the bacteria are ingested and before they reach the jejunum.
After being ingested and spending a half hour or so in the stomach, the bacteria move along the gastrointestinal tract to the small intestine, one part of which is the eight-foot jejunum.
