He invented the villi. Villi are extremely tiny nodes that pop out of the intestines walls, making the surface area greater. They also have other little nodes attached to the villi which increase the surface area further. Why does the intestine need so much surface area? Because the more surface area there is, the more nutrients can be absorbed at one time into the blood stream.
What else can I help you with?
What might be the advantage of the folds and coils of the small intestines?
slows down the passage of the food slomg the intestines, and afford an increased surface for absorption. Increase the surface area for the intestines to increase absorption of nutrients
What Increases the surface area of small intestines?
The "villi" of the intestines increase the surface area dramatically. Each villus is basically a loop of the intestine wall. The polyps that are often found in the large intestine exhibit similar structure.
What is one way that the small intestine is modified to increase the surface area for digestoin and absorption?
The cell surface which lines the intestines have villi and microvilli. These are finger-like protrusions which increase the surface vastly.
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
An adaptation to increase the surface area of a part of a cell that is involved in cellular respiration?
Microvilli are small protrusions found on the surface of cells, particularly in the intestines and kidneys, that increase surface area for absorption. These structures contain enzymes and transport proteins important for cellular respiration.
Why does intestinal tissue has so many projections?
isn't the many folds in the the intestines along with the villi and microvilli all there to increase the surface area of the intestines? which would increase the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream or lymph vessels?
What finger like projections lining the small intestines which increase surface area?
Villi (plural). Pronounced "vill-eye".
How does your body adopt surface area to volume ratio to help exchange gases-?
The skin surface is not large enough for big creatures such as humans; therefore we have structures in our lungs that greatly increase the surface area.
The large folds of tissue in the small intestines that act to increase the surface area and support the villi and micro villi are called?
Plicae circularis.
What is the functions of plicae circulares?
The plicae circulares slow down the food passing along the intestines. Because of their shape there is an increase in the surface area between the food and the walls on the intestines which allows more efficient absorption of nutrients from the chyme - the stuff that comes from the stomach.
Increases the surface area of the small intestine?
The "villi" of the intestines increase the surface area dramatically. Each villus is basically a loop of the intestine wall. The polyps that are often found in the large intestine exhibit similar structure.
What does it mean to increase the surface area of a solid?
increase the surface area of a solid means to increase the area of solid
