Heya user!
=> It's coiling is like C Shaped which is actual shape of the duodenum.
=> But when it's watched horizontally it's U - Shaped.
=> Duodenum is the first part of the Small Intestine.
=> It's joined with Jejunum which is further joined with ilium.
=> It's shape is also called as horse - shoe shaped.
=> It lies in the upper abdomen.
THANKS!
