Detailed explanation-1: -The lining of the small intestinal mucosa is very highly specialized for maximizing digestion and absorption of nutrients. The lining is highly folded to form microscopic finger-like projections called villi which increase the surface area to help with absorption.
Detailed explanation-2: -The surface of the small intestine has a finger-like microscale villus structure, which provides a large surface area to realize efficient digestion and absorption.
Detailed explanation-3: -The inner wall, or mucosa, of the small intestine is covered in wrinkles or folds called plicae circulares that project microscopic finger-like pieces of tissue called villi, which in turn have finger-like projections known as microvilli.
