villi

∙ 14y agoit helps by absorbing whats lefted of the nutrients from the food, if there is any, and absorbs it into the blood-stream. then it gets rid of the waste through the rectum and anus (lol). hope i helped. (C:

∙ 14y agoThe small intestine is covered by villus.Villus is cover again by microvilli which increase the surface area for absorption

∙ 11y agothe plicae circulares
the villi
the microvilli
intestinal movements
ALL of the above is the answer

∙ 13y agovilli has small capillaries which help get all the nutrients from the food into the bloodstream.

Where are the final products of digestion absorbed?
small intestine
What absorbs water in the process of digestion?
The small intestines absorb most of the water during digestion.
The large intestine is where digestion of food is completed and most nutrients are absorb?
No that's the small intestine, the large intestine is mostly for the abosorption of water
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.
Absorbs the end products of lipid digestion?
Epithelial cells of the small intestine.
What do lacteal do?
The lacteal absorbs the products of lipid digestion from the small intestine to the bloodstream.
Where does most absorption of the end products of digestion into the circulatory system?
In the small intestine
Where are the end products of digestion absorbed?
Most of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine.
In the small intestine the products of digestion are absorbed by both diffusion and... what?
active transport
What does a frog's small intestine do?
A frog's small intestine is in charge of the majority of its digestion. It helps its body absorb nutrients from food.
Why is intracellular digestion unsuitable?
1. The small intestine is LONG- this ensures food remains in the small intestine long enough for the products of digestion to be fully absorbed into the bloodstrem. 2. The Small intestine is HIGHLY FOLDED into villi (s. villus)- This gives a greater surface area for more efficient diffusion of products into the bloodstream. 3. The small intestine has a RICH BLOOD SUPPLY - Each villus has a network of capillaries so that the products of digestion are carried away from the small intestine efficiently. 4. The epithelium of the small intestine in the villi is only ONE CELL THICK - for easier diffusion of the products of digestion into the bloodstream. The walls of the capillaries are only one cell thick as well!!
How does the length of the small intestine assist the digestion?
the lengthb increase the surface area so that it can better absorb nutrients
