Villi (singular villus) are finger-like structures that are found on the inner wall of small intestines. Villi function to absorb glucose, amino acids and water soluble vitamins by diffusion into the blood capillaries in the villi.
Finger like folds in the intestines called villi and microvilli aid in the nutrients being absorbed into the bloodstream. The function of the villi in the frog is it helps with the digestion process.

It is most likely the the stomach since the intestines do not break down food. The stomach is filled with extremely strong acids that are powerful enough to dissolve razor blades whole. The food drops into our stomachs and immediately breaks down. Then the stomach passes what is left through the Pyloric Sphincter (the wall passage between stomach and small intestine). The small intestine then absorbs all the nutrients through the villi (small hairlike cells on the inner intestine walls). Once the food reaches the large intestine, bile is added to the food, turning it into our stool, while absorbing liquids and salts from the product. Then the food leaves our bodies, only so we can obtain more.
The organ that contains the villi is the small intestine.
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.
The hair-like structures lining the walls of the small intestine are called villi. These structures increase the surface area of the intestine, allowing for better absorption of nutrients from digested food.
the tiny structures within the small intestine that absorb nutrients are called Villi
no!
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.
