How does the pressure of these structures help with the absorption of digested food?
i dont know but i think that the villi absorbs the energy or food substance by the small holes.
What does villi serve to?
Absorption of digested food.
How do villi help to increase the absorption of digested food into the bloodstream?
The villi is found in the inner wall of the small intestine , it is covered with many finger like folds( Villi). The villi absorbs more digested food and is absorbed to the bloodstream.
How do the finger like structures relate to the function of the small intestine?
If you mean the hairs on the cells they are villi and micro-villi
What is the blood supply like in the villi?
more the blood supply ,the more will be the absorption of digested food.
Which structures of the small intestines increases the surface area available for absorption?
Plicae and villi
List 2 ways the ileum adapted role in absorption?
1)Villi and micro villi increase the surface area for the absorption of digested food. 2)Epithelial cells lining the intestine have a high volume density of mitochondria, meaning lots of energy for the active uptake of digested food. :)
What tiny finger shaped structure in which absorption occurs?
A tiny projection that absorbs digested food in the small intestine is called the villi.
Where are villi present in the human body and what are their functions?
Villi are largely present in the lower digestive tract. Their function is not only to absorb the digested foodstuffs but also they greatly increase the surface area for absorption.
What is villi and what important structures do they contain?
these are in the ileum wall in the small intestine and they are rsponsible for absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream
What are the structure adaptive features which make the small intestine efficient for absorption of digested food?
More than 50% must be removed before there is a significant reduction in capability Duodenum and jejunum can perform each other's roles in digestion and absorption
What is digested the small intestines?
Different types of nutrients are absorbed through small finger like structures called Villi.
