Villi
They increase the surface area of small intestine and thus, increase the rate of absorption of food...
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
Villi are fingerlike projection from a surface and in the intestine they are one cell thick with blood vessels and lacteal. The funciton is to increase the surface area of the intestine and so increasing the ammount of absorption.
absorption of nutrients by increasing the surface area available for absorption. This increased surface area allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from the digested food passing through the small intestine.
Microvilli for increase surface area for absorption
Villi, to increase the surface area for absorption.
The inner lining of the intestine has folds in it so as to increase the surface are. This greater aids in the absorption of nutrients from the gut. The larger the surface area, the greater the rate of absorption.
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
Small intestine, where microvilli increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of food and water. It has specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area available for absorption. Nutrients and water are absorbed into the bloodstream through these structures.
Most of the absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. The inner surface of the small intestine is lined with finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for absorption. This is where the majority of nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream.
By increasing the surface area of the intestinal wall.
