Hor villi in small intestine increase surface area of absorption? |
|
Answer» Thanks yogita for your answerYou helped me a lot... The small intestines are packed with villi and microvilli that increase surface area of the small intestines, which helps with absorption.The small intestines are well adapted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by: being very long, having villi and microvilli that increase surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and receiving and housing digestive enzymes and bile that help the breakdown of food.
