Duodenum, post-mortem. The duodenum is the region at the beginning of the small intestine. It is the first part of the intestines that the food enters after leaving the stomach, where most of the chemical digestion of the food takes place. Post-mortem examinations, also known as autopsies, are carried out to identify a cause of death, and to assess the health of a dead person's organs.
