What are the finger like projections in the small intestine that act to increase the surface for absorption?
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
What is the function of projection?
They increase the surface area of small intestine and thus, increase the rate of absorption of food...
The small intestine is covered in millions of villi what are villi and what is their job?
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.
The villi of the small intestine allow for an increase in the rate of?
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.
Why does the cell from the inner lining of the intestine has the folded mebrance?
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.
Are finger like projection inside the Small intestine?
Microvilli for increase surface area for absorption
Hairline projections within the small intestine?
Villi, to increase the surface area for absorption.
How is small intestine better adapted for absorption than thatof large intestine?
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
A high density of microvilli is to be expected especially on the surface of epithelial cells located in the?
Small intestine, where microvilli increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
What organ is responsible for food and water absorption?
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.
In which structure does most of the absorption of nutrients occur?
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.
Tiny projections which line the small intestine and function to increase the surface area and thus increase absorption rate are known as?
Villi are tiny projections that line the small intestine and increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. They contain blood vessels and lacteals to absorb nutrients and transport them to the bloodstream.
