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
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.
The lining of 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.
yes
The answer is small intestine.
Mucosa
It is the Villi
the nutrients enter the blood in the small intestine. The lining of the small intestine is called the villi, that is were the blood is absorbed into the bloodstream
Villi
The small intestine contains villi. Villi are small finger-like projections on the inner lining of the small intestine that help increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Lining of your intestine is not smooth. Nature has adapted various methods to increase the surface area of the intestine. The surface has become grossly uneven due to this factor. The surface area of the small intestine is about 2750 square feet. That is why the surface becomes rough, although the lining is made of very soft epithelium.
