The ridges and folds in the GI tract, such as the villi and microvilli in the small intestine, increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. This allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients and water from the food passing through the digestive system.
Irregular ridges and folds of the myocardium are called trabeculae carneae. These structures help to increase the surface area of the ventricles, allowing for more efficient contraction and pumping of blood.
