In the small intestine , on the lining (along the intestinal wall) , there are numerous finger-like projections called villi which in urn have many microvilli. These structures give a brush-like appearance for the entire villi and increases the surface area for absorption. These villi absorb all the necessary nutrients and transfer them into the blood stream and leave only the unwanted waste products.
