Any diet that does not contain Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. By avoiding foods that contain any amount of Gluten the small intestine will repair itself. Once gluten is consumed again, even in very small amounts, the intestine will react by breaking down villi.
villi villi
The plicae circulares and intestinal villi are found in the mucosa.
Is it true that intestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals important for chemical digestion?
Fingerlike projections that absorb nutrients in the small intestine are called villi. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal lining, allowing for better absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
it's the intestinal crypts, or crypts of Lieberkuhn
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
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.
The function of intestinal villi is to aid in the efficient and rapid absorption o nutrients.
Lacteals.
The villi and microvilli in the intestinal tract increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients from digested food. Villi are finger-like projections on the intestinal wall, while microvilli are smaller projections on the surface of cells within the villi. This increased surface area allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
Folding of the intestinal wall into intestinal villi, like in our gut.
