GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The finger-like projections found on the surface of the small intestine is known as villi. Villi increases the surface area of the small intestine to absorb the nutrients. Each villus is approximately 0.5-1.6 mm in length. Villi also help the intestines to move food along the digestive pathways.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lining is highly folded to form microscopic finger-like projections called villi which increase the surface area to help with absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -Villi are small finger-like projections found in the inner linings of small inestine. These micro structures play a major role in increasing the surface area for absorption of nutrients during the process of digestion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Intestinal villi are a unique structural and functional unit for the luminal sensing, digestion, absorption, secretion, and immune defense in the small intestine. Subepithelial fibroblasts form three-dimensional cellular network in the villi and play major roles in these functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The finger-like projections present on the intestinal wall are called Villi. They help in absorption of the nutrients after the digestion process.
