small intestine, which allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from the digested food. This increased surface area provides more space for nutrient absorption to occur, enhancing the overall efficiency of the digestive process.

Why does the small intestine have such such a large internal surface area?
The small intestine serves to digest and absorb food. It continues the task of turning solid food into liquids. Your body can only digest liquids. It also pushes food through your body. In the process, it absorbs food and sends it through veins to your liver. The food is absorbed through extremely tiny projections called villi. A number of them are required so your body can get enough food to keep you alive. You have more than you need because humans were designed to be able to eat during periods of abundance and survive during famines. Your small intestine must have enough folds to give it enough surface area to have enough villi.
