What is Claims Adjudication? An insurance claim must meet all eligibility requirements before it can be paid. Insurance companies use claims adjudication to determine whether they will cover a procedure or if the policyholder must pay out of pocket.
The lining of the small intestine has tiny, finger-shaped tissues (villi). These raised tissues greatly increase the surface area of the intestine, which absorbs calories and nutrients from food. The small intestine consists of three parts. The first part, called the duodenum, connects to the stomach. The middle part is the jejunum. The third part, called the ileum, attaches to the colon.
Most of the digestive enzymes found in the small intestine are located on the brush border. These enzymes finish the process of digestion. The freed nutrients then pass through the walls of the villi and into their networks of fine capillaries, veins, and arteries, which lead to the blood stream and liver.
