What are the finger like projections in the small intestine that act to increase the surface for absorption?
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
What is the function of projection?
They increase the surface area of small intestine and thus, increase the rate of absorption of food...
Are finger like projection inside the Small intestine?
Microvilli for increase surface area for absorption
Hairline projections within the small intestine?
Villi, to increase the surface area for absorption.
Why does the cell from the inner lining of the intestine has the folded mebrance?
The inner lining of the intestine has folds in it so as to increase the surface are. This greater aids in the absorption of nutrients from the gut. The larger the surface area, the greater the rate of absorption.
How is small intestine better adapted for absorption than thatof large intestine?
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
What is the function of the typhlosole on a earthworm?
increase intestine surface area for more efficent absorption of digested nutrients
How do villi of the small intestine increase the rate of nutrients absorption?
By increasing the surface area of the intestinal wall.
In the earthworm what is the function of the typhlosole?
increase intestine surface area for more efficent absorption of digested nutrients
Tiny projections which line the small intestine and function to increase the surface area and thus increase absorption rate are known as?
Villi
Which one of the following is NOT a modification which is designed to increase surface area for absorption within the small intestine?
Peyer's patches
What is one way that the small intestine is modified to increase the surface area for digestoin and absorption?
The cell surface which lines the intestines have villi and microvilli. These are finger-like protrusions which increase the surface vastly.
