Cerebrospinal fluid is drained into venous blood in the dural sinuses through structures called arachnoid granulations (also known as arachnoid villi or pacchionian bodies). These specialized projections of the arachnoid mater penetrate through the dura mater into the superior sagittal sinus and other dural sinuses, where they allow for the reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream.

Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through small finger-like nodules on the wall of the?

intestine called villi. Villi increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and other essential compounds.

How is the blood that leaves the villi different from the blood that enters them?

What are the function of villi?

the villi are tiny finger-like protrusions lining the small intestines. Digested food passes the villi and broken-down food molecules are absorbed through a wall of cells, and into tiny blood vessels inside the villi called capillaries. Nutrient filled blood from the capillaries joins the main bloodstream in veins around the intestines, ready to be used in other parts of the body. Having villi lining the intestines ensures maximum absorption of nutrients through a huge surface area.
