Question : How is the small intestine designed to absorb digested food? |
| Answer» Solution :The SMALL intestine is the MAIN region for the absorption of digested FOOD. The inner LINING of small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called villi. The presence of villi gives the inner walls of the small intestine a very large SURFACE area for absorption of digested food. The villi are richly supplied with blood vessels which take the absorbed food to each and every cell of the body. | |
