The rugae folds in the small intestine (also called plique circulares) are there to increase surface area. Each fold also is covered in tiny microvilli, or microscopic folds. (if you look closely plicae circulares, it appears almost like a shaggy carpet because there are so many little microvilli) Those help increase the surface area even more. This allows the body to take in as much of the nutrients as possible from the food that is being digested.
Plicae circularis.
The valve between the small and large intestines is the ileocecal valve. The ileocecal valve is a sphincter muscle and its function is to allow the passage of digested food from the small intestine into the large intestine, as well as preventing the reflux of the contents of the large intestine back into the ileum (the last part of the small intestine).

Crocoite is mainly used as a mineral specimen. It used to be used as a minor ore of chromium, but it is now too rare to be used for that.It is on wikipedia too
The plicae circulares and intestinal villi are found in the mucosa.
Yes.
They are called "plicae circulares"
Circular fold (plicae circulares)
plicae circulares and peristalsis
rugae
Plicae circulares is a term used to describe permanent folds of mucous inside of the small intestine. These folds are within the membranes and are only in the lower part of the duodenum and jejunum.
Villi Microvilli Plicae Circulares
The plicae circulares slow down the food passing along the intestines. Because of their shape there is an increase in the surface area between the food and the walls on the intestines which allows more efficient absorption of nutrients from the chyme - the stuff that comes from the stomach.
villi, microvilli, and plicae circulares/circularbfolds
permanent folds are called plicae circulares temporary folds are called rugae.
rugae It's not rugae - for stomach. Small intestine wall is plicae circulares.
