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.
The iliocecal sphincter. The ileum is the last (and longest) portion of small intestine. It empties into into the cecum (the first part of the large intestine) at the iliocecal junction. The iliocecal sphincter is a ring of invountary smooth muscle at this junction, controlling the passage of digestive contents from the small intestine to the large intestine.
