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 :)
What else can I help you with?
List 2 ways the ileum adapted role in absorption?
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. :)
More is absorbed by the duodenum and the jejunum than by the ileum?
Yes, the duodenum and jejunum are the primary sites for nutrient absorption in the small intestine. They have a larger surface area due to their foldings and villi, which facilitate absorption. The ileum, although still involved in absorption, primarily reabsorbs bile salts and some vitamins.
What is the function of the iieum?
The ileum is a very long part of the small intestine. After protein digestion in the stomach and starch digestion in the mouth, the ileum releases many enzymes to digest the remaining products of starch hydrolyis (which are sugars). The ileum has many infoldings along its length called villi (singular villus) which increase the surface area for absorption of the most important products of digestion; glycerol, glucose and amino acids.
Where is the jejunum located in the human body?
In adults the jejunum is found in the small intestine and lies between the duodenum and the ileum. The lining of the jejunum absorbs small food particles which have previously been digested in the duodenum.
What is pertaining to the jejunum and ileum?
There are 3 parts of the bowel that comprise the small intestine: the duodenum, the jejunum, & the ileum occurring in that order. The illeum contains large amounts of Mucosa associated Lymph tissue (MALT) in the form of Peyer's patches, whereas the jejunum has very few MALT.

What organ system does the ileum belong to?
The ileum is a part of the digestive system. It is the final section of the small intestine where absorption of nutrients from digested food occurs before it passes to the large intestine.
Which nutrient is digested in the ileum?
Nothing is digested by the liver in the digestive system at all. So there is basically no answer to it.
What does the ileum do?
The ileum is the end of the small intestine it basically absorbs digested material through its wall which enters into the bloodstream.
Why illeum is so long?
The ileum is long in order to facilitate absorption of nutrients from digested food. Its length provides a large surface area for nutrient absorption to occur efficiently. This is important for the body to extract as many nutrients as possible from the food we consume.
What structure provides a large surface are for absorption in the ileum?
The ileum has finger-like projections called villi that increase its surface area for absorption. Each villus contains even smaller structures called microvilli, further enhancing the absorption capacity of the ileum. This large surface area allows for efficient absorption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
What is the majority of nutrient absorption that takes place?
The majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum sections. Here, digested food is broken down into its constituent nutrients—such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. The villi and microvilli lining the small intestine increase the surface area to optimize this absorption process, ensuring efficient nutrient uptake.
More is absorbed by the duodenum and the jejunum than by the ileum?
Yes, the duodenum and jejunum are the primary sites for nutrient absorption in the small intestine. They have a larger surface area due to their foldings and villi, which facilitate absorption. The ileum, although still involved in absorption, primarily reabsorbs bile salts and some vitamins.
If the third stage of digestion is absorption which begins when food enters the?
The jejunum or ileum of the small intestine.
What is the pH of ileum?
The pH of the ileum, the last part of the small intestine, typically ranges from 7.4 to 8.0. This slightly alkaline pH helps in the absorption of nutrients and digestion of food.
What is the difference between the Ileum and the Duodenum?
Distinguishing feature of the duodenum are the Brunner's glands, whereas the Peyer's patches make the ileum easily identificable. The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct enter the duodenum, whereas the ileum does not receive duct from other organs. Outermost layer of the duodenum is comprised of adventitia as it is located retroperitoneally, while the outermost layer of the ileum is represented by serosa(mesothelial cell are evident). The ileum has also more goblet cells than the duodenum. Duodenum represents major site of iron absorption, while the ileum-B12 absorption.
What does the jejunum digest?
the portion of the mammalian small intestine that follows the duodenum and precedes the ileum that is the function of absorbing digested food
