Villi (might be mispelled).
They're kind of like microscopic hairs that help absorb nutrients in the small intestine leading to a greater surface area.
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.
The surface is made up of many small wrinkled folds which increases the surface area.
The "villi" of the intestines increase the surface area dramatically. Each villus is basically a loop of the intestine wall. The polyps that are often found in the large intestine exhibit similar structure.
The villi increases the surface area for the small intestine.

The folding of the mucosal membrane increases the surface area of your small intestine, thus allowing more nutrients to be absorbed.

villi
The structure found in the inner layer of the small intestine is called the villi. Villi are small finger-like projections that increase the surface area of the small intestine, aiding in the absorption of nutrients.
The brush border is located on the surface of microvilli which are found on the apical surface of epithelial cells lining the small intestine and kidney tubules. It increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients and ions.
