What tiny finger shaped structure in which absorption occurs?
A tiny projection that absorbs digested food in the small intestine is called the villi.
What is the inner wall of the villi line?
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.
What are the three types of villi?
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.
Are finger like projections of the mucosa?
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
What drains cerebrospinal fluid in to venous blood in the dural sinus?
The Cerebrospinal Fluid is absorbed into the venous blood in the dural sinuses through the arachnoid villi. Arachnoid villi connect the subarachnoid space to the superior sagittal sinus.
How does the structure of the villi assist with the utilization of digested fish?
how does the structure of the villi
What structure enables the small intestine to absorb large amounts of nutrients?
villi
Villi are part of the structure of the?
Villi are part of the structure of the small intestine(ileum). They help increase surface area for absorption of nutrients.
What is the placental barrier made up of?
Chorionic Villi with Fetal capillaries Intervillous Spaces Decidua basalis with maternal capillaries
How is the structure of the villi adapted to their function?
The villi is only one cell thick so it easier to absorb.
What structure in the small intestine absorbs the nutrients?
villi
What is tiny finger shaped structure in which absorption occurrs?
villi
Which structure located on the walls of the ileum form lymphocytes?
villi
What relationship exists between villi and microvilli?
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
Which structure does not serve to increase surface area in the small intestine?
Villi
What structure in the small intestine increases its surface area?
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.
What is the finger like structure that covers the inner wall of the small intestine?
villi
