To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail
pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of
the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL
for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:
http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000
It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like
http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.
Synonyms

The portion of the digestive tube between the stomach and the cecum; it is composed of three sections: duodenum, jejunum and ileum; all are involved in the absorption of nutrients; the total length of the small intestine is approximately 22 feetLinks to other resources
