The villi helps the small intestine to absorb more nutrients compared to one with a smooth inner lining.Villi ncrease the surface area, allowing more nutrients to be absorbed by the small intestine.

∙ 12y agoEither we would be a lot taller, or the intestine would be a lot shorter. A shorter intestine would make it more difficult for us to absorb nutrients, so either we'd have to eat stuff with a higher nutritional value, or we'd have to move/grow slower.

How is a small intestine attached surgically to rectum?
The small intestine is usually attached to the large intestine and that is attached to the rectum. If the large intestine is so damaged or diseased that it must be completely removed, the surgeon may attach the small intestine to the rectum using sutures that eventually dissolve. The loss of the large intestine is a serious matter and may result in an iliostomy (connecting the end of the small intestine to an abdominal hole, or stoma, to which an external bag is attached) rather than to the rectum.
