The ileum is well-suited for absorbing digested food due to its extensive surface area, which is enhanced by the presence of numerous villi and microvilli. These finger-like projections increase the absorptive surface and facilitate efficient nutrient uptake into the bloodstream. Additionally, the ileum has a rich supply of blood vessels that help transport absorbed nutrients throughout the body. Its specialized epithelial cells also contain transport proteins that aid in the absorption of specific nutrients.
