How does the lining of the stomach compare with the lining of the small intestine?
The lining of the stomach has less surface area than the lining of the small intestine. The stomach lining has a mucus coating that protects it from acid while the lining of the small intestine is less coated.
Food is digested by the lining of this organ?
The lining of the small intestine.
What cell is cell lining the small intestine?
the cell lining of the small intestine is called villi and are small, finger-like projections that are used to increase surface area.
What is a lining if the small intestine?
the lining of the small intestine has folds, and are covered with finger-like projections called villi, which are covered with thousands of micro-villi
Why is a small intestine biopsy performed?
A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure in which tissue or cells are removed from a part of the body and.prepared for examination under a microscope. When the tissue involved is part of the small intestine, the procedure is called a small-intestine.biopsy.
Is the lining of the small intestine's filled with villi?
yes
Does the large intestine have villi?
The answer is small intestine.
What tissue is microvilli and goblet cells associated with?
Microvilli are associated with the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine, where they increase surface area for absorption. Goblet cells are specialized cells found in the epithelial tissue of the respiratory and digestive tracts, where they secrete mucus to protect and lubricate the lining of these organs.
What is diverticulectomy?
Meckel's diverticulectomy is a surgical procedure that isolates and removes an abnormal diverticulum (Meckel's diverticulum) or pouch, as well as surrounding tissue, in the lining of the small intestine.

What is the lining found on the surface of the stomach and small intestine?
Mucosa
What tissue forms the lining of the stomach and the small intestine?
The basic lining of both is stratified squamous epithelium (SSE).However, the type of SSE in stomach and intestines is specially modified for that particular region. For instance, the SSE in the stomach is contains special cells which secrete gastric juices, while at the same time, the lining of the stomach should be able to withstand the acidity of these juices. The SSE lining the [small] intestines on the other hand, contains projections called villi (singular villus) which aid in digestion and also increase the surface area of the intestines; and the SSE also contains goblet cells which secrete mucus.
