How does the highly folded cell surface help the epithelial cell to absorb soluble food? |
|
Answer» The surface of the small INTESTINE wall is folded, and has PROJECTIONS called villi . Villi is the plural of villus. The EPITHELIAL cells that cover each villus themselves have projections called microvilli . These all increase the surface AREA over which digested food – now SIMPLE molecules – is absorbed.I hope this will help you |
