Villi has a large surface area to volume ratio by being long and thin, they are also very close to a sufficient blood supply, allowing more nutrients to flow through the system
1)Villi and micro villi increase the surface area for the absorption of digested food. 2)Epithelial cells lining the intestine have a high volume density of mitochondria, meaning lots of energy for the active uptake of digested food. :)
The finger-like structures in the small intestine, called villi, increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. This allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream.
1/ the lining has A a very large surface area. 2/ the length of the intestine (ileum 3.5m) help increase the surface surface area for absorption. 3/ millions of villi provide a large surface area in contact with the digested food. 4/ hundreds of micro villi on the surface cells (on each villus) increase the surface area for absorption. your welcome :)
Villi are found in our small and large intestines, and are adapted to their function by having a very large Surface Area to volume ratio. They are vital as they extract the vital nutrients from the food we eat and are absorbed into the blood supply which runs just underneath the villi, and transport these nutrients to wherever they are needed.
The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of food and water. It has specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area available for absorption. Nutrients and water are absorbed into the bloodstream through these structures.
Absorption of digested food.
Villi increase the rapid absorption of food away from the small intestine.

small intestine
Villi are found in the small intestines. They help with the absorption of vitamins and nutrients from the food eaten.
Food absorption (small intestines).
The small intestine contains tiny finger-like structures called villi, where absorption of nutrients takes place. Villi increase the surface area of the intestine for more efficient absorption of digested food molecules.
The villi is found in the inner wall of the small intestine , it is covered with many finger like folds( Villi). The villi absorbs more digested food and is absorbed to the bloodstream.

Yes, absorption in the small intestine occurs through the villi.
The cells that line small intestines have small projections on their surface called villi. These projections collectively increase the total surface area of the small intestine. This adaptation facilitates increased absorption of nutrients
