Detailed explanation-1: -Villi increase the surface area for absorption and villi epithelium helps in the absorption of digested food. The surface of the villi absorbs the amino acids and glucose to pass them into the blood system.
Detailed explanation-2: -SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM: The surface of each villus is covered with simple columnar epithelium . The free surface of these cells has very tiny projections called microvilli, which are specialized for absorption (absorptive cells).
Detailed explanation-3: -Microvilli function as the primary surface of nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Because of this vital function, the microvillar membrane is packed with enzymes that aid in the breakdown of complex nutrients into simpler compounds that are more easily absorbed.
