What is the name of projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?
The minute structures that project from the inner walls of the small intestine are called villi. They help in the digestion process by continuously pushing digested particles in one direction. Their function is to absorb nutrients. These villi effectively increase the surface area of the intestine so more nutrients can be absorbed.
Why is it important to increase surface area in the small intestine?
Millions of tiny hair-like protrusions, called villi, line the inside of the small intestine. They vastly increase the surface area of the intestines, to maximise diffusion of nutrients into the bloodstream. In fact, there are even smaller micro-villi covering the villi, to increase the absorption capacity even further! A constant supply of blood ensures a steep concentration gradient is maintained. This is a crucial factor for allowing as great an uptake of nutrients as possible.
