What are the similarities between the villi and the alveoli?
To understand the structural similarities, one has to understand the functional similarities. The most obvious similarity is that they are both involved with transport via diffusion. So the structural similarities would be those that facilitate this. eg. thin epithelium, large blood supply.
What do the alveoli of the lungs the microvilli and villi in the intestine and the gill lamellae in fishes gills have in common?
The microvilli and villi in the intestine increase the absorbent surface where nutrients are transported into the blood. The alveoli in the lungs and gill lamellae bring oxygen in the air and water to the bloodstream,
Why are capillaries found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
Wherever capillaries are found, these are places where nutrients and wastes are exchanged.
What are the 2 systems villi are linked between?
Villi are linked between the digestive systme and excretory system.
What is the differences between villi and bile?
Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase its surface area for nutrient absorption. Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which helps in the breakdown of fats in the small intestine. Villi aid in nutrient absorption, while bile aids in fat digestion.
What is the difference between rugae and villi?
the rugae is found in the stomach. The villi is in the lining of the small intestines.
Why are capillaries and not arteries or veins found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
vessel walls must be thin to allow ease to transfer of molecules to these tissues i had this on a test and i got it right :)
What is the difference between villi villus and villous?
there isnt
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 enables the small intestine to absorb large amounts of nutrients?
villi
What best represents an adaptation to increase the surface to volume ratio?
One adaptation to increase the surface to volume ratio is having a larger surface area relative to the volume, such as in structures like villi in the small intestine or gills in fish. This allows for more efficient exchange of materials like nutrients and gases with the environment.
What are the three types of villi?
The three types of villi are: Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum. Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus. Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
