Villi absorb nutrients in the remaining food through diffusion. The villi are shaped in microscopic hair-like waves so that they have greater surface area, therefore enhancing the diffusion process.

How villi help is digestion?
villi helps because it observers digested food in the small intestines
What are villi functions in digestion process?

What absorbs water in the process of digestion?

Do mammals have villi?
Yes, mammals have villi. An example is the villi in the intestines of humans which help to absorb nutrients.
Can you live without villi?
Digestion would be much slower because of the decrease in surface area.
Why do the villi have lots of capillaries inside them?
To increase the surface area of which the products of digestion can diffuse across (into the blood)
What does vill mean biologically?
Villi are tine hair like projections on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells. They increase the surface area of the cells and help in the process of absorption during digestion. Villi are not restricted to humans. They are found in a variety of mammalian organisms and their primary function is to increase the surface ares for absorption
Are villi's hairlike extensions that sweep impurities out of the respiratory tract?
No. Villi help to absorb nutrients.
What does does villi do in digestion?
The wall of the small intestine has folds that bear fingerlike prjections called villi. Villi in turn have projections called microvilli. The products of digestion are absorbed by microvilli and they enter the blood capillaries and the lacteals of the Villi.
