The small intestine mucosa feeds the nutrients, medications, and unfortunately some "bad" foreign substances when we imbibe them into our bloodstream. The substances are then sent throughout the body where they are needed (or not, such as alcohol, cigarette smoke, etc.). This is not the only mucosa capable of doing this. The tongue and mouth and nasal mucosa can absorb medication and send it to the bloodstream.

What is the name of the structure found in the inner layer of the small intestine?

Mucosa.
What is ileal mucosa?
Ileal mucosa refers to the inner lining of the ileum, which is the final section of the small intestine located before the large intestine. It plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption and immune function. The ileal mucosa has specialized structures, such as villi and microvilli, that increase its surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients.
What layer of the small intestine contains microvilli?
The layer of the small intestine that contains microvilli is the mucosa. Microvilli are tiny, finger-like projections on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells, which increase the surface area for absorption. This specialized structure is particularly prominent in the jejunum and ileum sections of the small intestine, aiding in the efficient absorption of nutrients.
Does Diverticulosis occur when mucosa become inflamed and protrude through wall of small intestine?
No, diverticulosis occurs when mucosa become inflamed in the colon (large intenstine). Diverticulitis occurs when mucosa become inflamed in the small intestine.
What is the lining found on the surface of the stomach and small intestine?
Mucosa
How are the mucosa and sub-mucosa of the small intestine adapted for both digestion and absorption?
large surface area
What are the deep ridges in the small intestine mucosa?
The circular folds or plicae circularis are the permanent folds or ridges of the mucosa.
What is the function of small intestine to chicken?
The function of small intestine to chicken is no because chicken doesn't have a small intestine
What are the major tissues of the gallbladder?
The major tissues of the gallbladder include the mucosa (inner lining), muscularis (smooth muscle layer), and serosa (outer covering). The mucosa contains absorptive cells, mucous-secreting cells, and glands. The muscularis layer contracts to facilitate the release of bile into the small intestine.
