hi mate,
==> we know that the Columnar epithelium is located in the digestive tract such as the stomach, large intestine, small intestine and functions as a barrier to bacteria and other microbes but permits the absorption of digested food.
==> we know that the small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called villi.
==>These villi increase the surface area for more efficient food absorption. that's why
small intestine is designed to have maximum absorption of food.
==>Within these villi, many blood vessels are present that absorb the digested food and carry it to the blood stream.
i hope it helps you.
