Ileum intestine - Diseases
The ileum is the final part of the small intestine, located between the jejunum and the cecum of the large intestine. It plays a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients and water from the digested food.
The walls of the ileum are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. The ileum absorbs various nutrients, including vitamins B12, A, D, E, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and other minerals.
The ileum also plays a role in the immune system, as it contains specialized immune cells called Peyer's patches. These cells help to identify and fight against invading bacteria and viruses in the gut.
Various conditions can affect the function of the ileum, such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and Crohn's disease. Symptoms of ileal disorders may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition.
Treatment for ileal disorders may include medications, dietary changes, and, in severe cases, surgery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help support the health of the ileum and the digestive system as a whole.
