What is the job of the small finger like villi in the small intestine?
The small finger-like villi in the small intestine play a crucial role in nutrient absorption. They increase the surface area of the intestinal lining, allowing for more efficient uptake of nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream. Each villus is also covered in microvilli, further enhancing this absorptive capacity, and they contain specialized cells that aid in the digestion process and transport of nutrients.

What are the normal results for stool exam and the negative results also?
A stool analysis is a number of tests done on a sample of stool (feces) to help diagnose certain conditions affecting the digestive tract, including infection (such as from parasites, viruses, or bacteria), poor absorption, or cancer.
For a stool analysis, a stool sample is collected in a clean container and then sent for laboratory analysis. Laboratory analysis consists of microscopic examination, chemical tests, and microbiologic tests. A complete stool analysis includes an examination of the physical characteristics of the stool for color, consistency, weight (volume), shape, odor, and the presence of mucus. The stool can be examined for hidden (occult) blood, fat, meat fibers, bile, white blood cells (leukocytes), and sugars (called reducing substances). The pH of the stool also may be measured.
A stool culture is done mainly to identify organisms (such as bacteria) that may be causing an infection.
Stool Analysis
Results
Stool analysis test results usually take at least 1 to 3 days.
Stool analysis
Normal:
The stool appears brown, soft, and well-formed in consistency.
No blood, mucus, pus, bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites are present in the stool.
The shape of the stool is tubular, reflecting its passage through the colon.
Normal pH of stool is about 6.
Less than 2 milligrams per gram (mg/g) of certain sugars called reducing factors are present in the stool.
Abnormal:
Increased volume of stool may indicate poor absorption of fats.
Blood, mucus, pus, bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites are present in the stool.
Low levels of certain enzymes (such as trypsin or elastase) may be present.
Reducing factors levels between 2 and 5 mg/g are considered borderline. Levels greater than 5 mg/g are abnormal.
Abnormal values may mean
- High levels of fat in the stool may indicate chronic pancreatitis, sprue, Crohn's disease, or cystic fibrosis.
- The presence of undigested meat fibers in the stool may indicate pancreatitis.
- An abnormal pH may indicate poor absorption of carbohydrates or fat.
- Low levels of certain enzymes (such as trypsin or elastase) may indicate digestive complications of cystic fibrosis or pancreatic insufficiency.
- The presence of blood in the stool indicates bleeding in the digestive tract.
- The presence of white blood cells in the stool may indicate bacterial diarrhea. A specific organism may be identified.
- Rotaviruses are a common cause of diarrhea in young children. If diarrhea is present, testing may be done to determine the presence of rotaviruses in the stool.
- High levels of reducing factors in the stool may indicate a problem digesting certain sugars (especially sucrase and lactase).

It could be bleeding, which can be a sign of bowel cancer, or a number of other colon conditions.
Osmosis
What effects do enzymes in the intestine have nutrients such as protein?
Enzymes are catalysts. They speed up the digestion of large molecules such as proteins. Digestion is the reaction of these large molecules with water, and it results in their conversion to small, soluble molecules which can be absorbed through the intestine walls. Proteins are converted to amino acids, starch to glucose, and fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Each type of food molecule needs a different enzyme.
You have a large and a mall intestine, but they are connected and are part of the 'tube' that makes up a large part of our digestive system. Even though they are part of this 'tube', their functions are different. The small intestine continues and finishes the digestive process that begins in the mouth and stomach. The nutrients that are processed out of your food get absorbed by the body as the material works its way through the small intestine. The job of the large intestine is mostly to absorb moisture from the digested material and to prepare it for elimination. By the time material gets to the large intestine, most if not all of the food nutrition has been processed out already.
d. colon and rectum
What are the NAMES OF THE 5 parts of the large intestine?
The large insestine proper is composed of the (1) cecum, (2) appendix, (3) colon, (4) rectum, and (5) anal canal. The colon proper is composed of (1) ascending colon, (2) transverse colon, (3) descending colon, and (4) sigmoid colon. It also has two flextures or bends; the right colic flexure (between the ascending colon and transverse colon) and the left colic flexure (between the transverse colon and the descending colon). drazx is the original author of this answer.
