Capillary in the villi are used to absorb the digested food and transport the food the the destination cell.
Is it true that intestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals important for chemical digestion?
Villi (Sing. Villus)
Wherever capillaries are found, these are places where nutrients and wastes are exchanged.
Each villus in the small intestine is lined with capillaries that play a crucial role in nutrient absorption. These capillaries facilitate the uptake of amino acids, simple sugars, and fatty acids into the bloodstream. The villi increase the surface area for absorption, allowing for efficient transfer of nutrients into the body. Additionally, lacteals, specialized lymphatic vessels within the villi, help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins.

Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine. Their role is to help the body absorb nutrients from the food. The villi are little tiny hairs inside the small intestine that absorb nutrients.
