Villi are small, finger-like projections lining the small intestine that significantly increase its surface area, facilitating the absorption of nutrients from digested food. Nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, are absorbed through the villi into the bloodstream. The extensive network of blood vessels within the villi allows for efficient transport of these nutrients to the body's cells. Thus, the health and functionality of villi are crucial for optimal nutrient absorption and overall digestive efficiency.

Cilia are small hair-like structures on the outside of some single-celled organisms and are used for movement. Villi are very small finger-like projections that line the wall of the small intestine. They increase the surface area available for the absorption of nutrients.
To understand the structural similarities, one has to understand the functional similarities. The most obvious similarity is that they are both involved with transport via diffusion. So the structural similarities would be those that facilitate this. eg. thin epithelium, large blood supply.
Maltase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose, is primarily produced in the small intestine. Specifically, it is secreted by the brush border cells lining the intestinal villi. Additionally, maltase can also be found in yeast and certain bacterial species, where it plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism.

villi
The three types of villi are: Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum. Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus. Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
A micro villi is a micro villi
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
Villi is plural. One is Villus, many are Villi.

Yes, mammals have villi. An example is the villi in the intestines of humans which help to absorb nutrients.
