The wall of the small intestine has folds that bear fingerlike prjections called villi. Villi in turn have projections called microvilli. The products of digestion are absorbed by microvilli and they enter the blood capillaries and the lacteals of the Villi.

∙ 13y agothe role of the villi is that it increases the surface area so that when food passes through the small intestine the food will get caught on the villi and the nutrients are absorbed into the blood.

What are villi functions in digestion process?
you villi is in your small intestines.
The intestinal villi contain capillaries and lacteals important chemical digestion?
Is it true that intestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals important for chemical digestion?
How villi help is digestion?
villi helps because it observers digested food in the small intestines
What absorbs water in the process of digestion?
The small intestines absorb most of the water during digestion.
Can you live without villi?
Digestion would be much slower because of the decrease in surface area.
What is the function of the villi in a frog?
Finger like folds in the intestines called villi and microvilli aid in the nutrients being absorbed into the bloodstream. The function of the villi in the frog is it helps with the digestion process.
Where does the majority of all digestion take place?
The digestion is completed in the small intestine.
What is them in the role of the villi in the small intestine?
to increase the surface area of the intestine in order to absorb as much nutrients as possible during digestion.
What if there was no villi in the small intestine?
There will be no absorption of food and hence , our digestion will be disturbed.
What regions are responsible for increase in length and surface area necessary for digestion and absorption?
the snall and large intestines contain a brush border made up of villi and microvilli that increase surface area and aid in digestion
What is the function of the intestine in digestion?
The function of the small intestine is to abosorb nutrients into the blood stream using villi which are small finger like projections
What are the finger-like projections in the intestines?
The finger-like projections in the small intestines are called villi & they are present in the small intestine to increase the surface area of the intestinal wall. A greater surface area allows the intestines to absorb more nutrients from the digested food into the blood stream. Villi are prominent in the small intestines because this is where majority of the absorption of nutrients occur. Villi also play a small role in the digestion of food.
