Villi are small finger-like projections found inside the inner walls of the small intestine. They v increase the surface area for absorption of the digested food. Each villus has a network of thin and small blood vessels close to its surface. The surface of the villi absorbs the digested food materials.
Their main function is to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream. This might happen if your large intestine did not absorb water from chyme. Breaks down food for your body to use.
