Microvilli for increase surface area for absorption
What else can I help you with?
What is a small finger like projection of the inner small intestine wall?
It is the appendix.
What is the finger like projection that increases the surface of the small intestine?
They are villi.
A finger like projection in the small intestine that absorbs digested food?
Because of the villi
What is a small finger-like projection in the small intestine called?
They are called villi.Also there are micro villi on villi.
What small finger-like projection does not increase the absorptive surface of the small intestine?
Probably you refer to polyps, which are abnormal growths and can be dangerous.
What is the finger like projects called that line the inside the small intestine wall called?
The finger-like projections that line the inside of the small intestine wall are called villi. They increase the surface area of the intestine, allowing for better absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
Why is small intestine important?
because inside the small intestine there are little finger-like hairs witch absorb the nutrients and deliver it into the blood steam.
What are the tiny fingerlike projections inside the small intestine called?
The finger like projections that line the small intestine are called, Villi.
What tiny finger shaped structure in which absorption occurs?
The small intestine contains tiny finger-like structures called villi, where absorption of nutrients takes place. Villi increase the surface area of the intestine for more efficient absorption of digested food molecules.
Why does a small intestine needs an internal surface area?
You mean to say why does the small intestine have an internal surface area, well this is because there are micro-villi which are folded finger-like projection that each increase the amount of space food can be absorbed.
Is a fingerlike projection in the lining of the small intestine?
If you have a finger like projection in the small intestine, seen by a scope, or X-ray? If seen by scope, it's usually a polyp. They are fairly common, in the large bowel they would remove it during a colonoscopy. In the small bowel if they have seen with a scope it has to be close to the stomach or close to large bowel. I would think they would remove polyps they can see. It doesn't hurt, and they would send it to the lab. to have it checked.
What is the job of the villi?
The job of the villi is to increase the surface area of the small intestine, which allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from food during digestion. They are small, finger-like projections that line the inside of the small intestine and contain blood vessels and lymphatic vessels to transport absorbed nutrients.
