Study Notes

Villi in the Small Intestine

Villi are small, finger-like projections found in the lining of the small intestine, responsible for increasing the surface area for nutrient absorption.
Located in the small intestine, villi play a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.
Blood vessels inside the villi, including capillaries and lacteals, facilitate the transport of absorbed nutrients into the bloodstream and lymphatic system.
The role of villi in the small intestine is to absorb nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, into the bloodstream.
Villi are located in the small intestine, which is part of the digestive system, responsible for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from ingested food.
The blood vessels inside the villi allow for the efficient transportation of absorbed nutrients into the bloodstream, enabling the body to utilize them for energy, growth, and repair.
