De twaalfvingerige darm of het duodenum vormt het begin van de dunne darm en sluit via het maagportier (de pylorus) aan op de maag. De rest van de dunne darm wordt gevormd door de nuchtere darm (jejunum) en de kronkeldarm (ileum). De twaalfvingerige darm is bedekt met eenlagig cilindrisch epitheel met microvilli. Tevens bevat het slijmvormende gobletcellen.
