To Provide maximum surface area for exchange
A tiny projection that absorbs digested food in the small intestine is called the villi.
The small intestine is lined with microscopic fingerlike strutcures called villi which increase the surface area of the small intestine fo absorption. The spaces between villi are like a sieve that absorb the food particles into the bloodstream. There are three types of villi. Intestinal Villi which lines the intestines, Chorionic Villi which is on the outer most membrane of a fetus and Arachnoid Villi which is on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
The three types of villi are: Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum. Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus. Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
how does the structure of the villi
Villi (might be mispelled). They're kind of like microscopic hairs that help absorb nutrients in the small intestine leading to a greater surface area.
villi
Villi are part of the structure of the small intestine(ileum). They help increase surface area for absorption of nutrients.
The villi is only one cell thick so it easier to absorb.

villi
Yes. A villi is a fingerlike structure in a small intestine that absorbes the nutrition from the food you ate. A microvilli is basically a villi on a villi which is what actually does the absorbing

the villi in the small intestines.
