Answer:
==>The mucosa of the small intestine is lined by simple columnar epithelium which has absorptive cells embedded in it. The absorptive cells or enterocytes help in absorption for nutrients and minerals from food in the small intestine.
==>The small intestine has millions of tiny finger- like projections called villi. These villi increase the surface area for more efficient food absorption .
