In the ileum, (3rd part of small intestine after the 1st, duodenum, then the 2nd, jejunum) is where the villi and microvilli are. The villi are folds of the illeum wall, and their purpose is to increase the surface area. They are finger-like projections. These folds, or finger-like projections, have further projections on their surface. So in other words the villi have villi on them. But they are called microvilli. They are also to further increase surface area. The villi and microvilli are there for absorption. This is where most of the absorption of the nutrients from digestion occur(a fraction in the stomach wall).These nutrients are absorbed by diffusion into a capillary in the villi. Except for the fatty acids, which are absorbed by the lacteal in the villi. The villi are very thin. This allows diffusion to occur easier as it is close to the surface. The capillary and lacteal are close to the surface for the same reason. The villi are also semi-permeable, allowing only certain molecules to diffuse, and not diffuse the other way round. The nutrients, absorbed by the capillary in the villi, are now in the blood stream where they can be used as energy and proteins are sent to the liver to be broken down into amino acids to be arranged into the protein again that the body wants. Eventually some nutrients become part of your tissue (assimilation)
I hope this somewhat helps. :)
but hey, im 16, what do I know. you may want to check I'm right. :)
What else can I help you with?
Which part of the alimentary canal does absorption takes place?
In humans absorption takes place in the small intestines. In the small intestines are tiny structures called villi. Each villi has microvilli. These villi increase the surface area for absorption. Inside a microvilli, there is a network of capillaries and lacteals. Lacteals absorb amino acids and transport it to the liver via the subclavian vein which leads into the back of the neck, from there it gets distributed to the rest of the body. Back to the microvilli. The microvilli contains capillaries which absorb fatty acids and glycerols. These are transported to the liver via the heptic portal vein.
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
What structure helps increase the surface area available for absorption?
The intestinal wall has invaginations (or dips) that have a much larger surface ares compared to a simple tube
What structure increase surface area for absorption of nutrients?
The structure that increases surface area for absorption of nutrients in the small intestine is called the villi. Villi are tiny, finger-like projections that line the inner wall of the small intestine and are covered in even smaller hair-like structures called microvilli. Together, villi and microvilli greatly increase the surface area available for the absorption of nutrients from digested food.
What forms the Large surface area of the small intestine?
The large surface area of the small intestine is formed by the presence of villi and microvilli. Villi are finger-like protrusions lining the intestinal wall, while microvilli are further microscopic projections on the surface of the villi. This structural arrangement maximizes the absorption of nutrients from digested food.

The intestinal villi contain capillaries and lacteals important chemical digestion?
Is it true that intestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals important for chemical digestion?
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
What does does villi do in digestion?
The wall of the small intestine has folds that bear fingerlike prjections called villi. Villi in turn have projections called microvilli. The products of digestion are absorbed by microvilli and they enter the blood capillaries and the lacteals of the Villi.
What is the villi of the intestinal mucosa containing lymphatic capillaries called?
Lacteals.
What structure helps increase the surface area available for absorption?
The intestinal wall has invaginations (or dips) that have a much larger surface ares compared to a simple tube
What would happen to your body's absorption rate of the intestines if villi had no microvilli?
If the villi of the intestines had no microvilli, the absorption rate of the intestines would be significantly reduced. Microvilli are tiny finger-like projections on the surface of the villi that increase the surface area for absorption. Without microvilli, there would be less surface area available for nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a decrease in absorption efficiency.
What are the tiny fingers in the small intestine called?
They are called villi(plural for villus).
What structurs increase the surface area in the small intestine?
the villi or villus or microvillus or microvilli or muscosal villi
Are finger like projections of the mucosa?
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
Is true the itestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals for chemical digestion?
yes. every mucosal villi in the small intestine contains a venule(vein) and arteriole (artery) and a lymph vessel (specifacally lacteals). The lacteals (lymph vessels) serve an important function in the absorption of fats and other nutrients. The capillaires transport the products of digestion of dietary proteins and carbohydrates, and the lacteals transport those of dietary fats.
Nutrients in the small intestine enter the bloodstream by passing through?
some one help me
