Microvilli are tiny, finger-like projections on the surface of cells lining the small intestine, responsible for increasing the surface area for nutrient absorption. They contain special enzymes and transport proteins that aid in the absorption of digested nutrients into the bloodstream. This increased surface area allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from food.
