Villi?​

Answer 1

Q1: What do you mean by absorption of digested food?

A1: Digested food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine. Then, the digested food molecules are carried around the body to where they are needed.

Q2: Explain the role of  Villi?​

A2: Villi are specialized for absorption in the small intestine as they have a thin wall, one cell thick, which enables a shorter diffusion path.

They have a large surface area so there will be more efficient absorption of important nutrients like fatty acids and glycerol into the bloodstream.
