Does micro villi secrete anything?
no
Does plasma membrane contain micro villi?
yes
What are tiny fingerlike projections that cover the folds of the small intestines?
The tiny fingerlike projections that cover the folds of the small intestine are called villi. Villi increase the surface area of the small intestine, allowing for more efficient absorption of nutrients from digested food.
How do the micro villi help in the absorption of food?
small intestine
How do the finger like structures relate to the function of the small intestine?
The finger-like structures in the small intestine, called villi, increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. This allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream.
The large folds of tissue in the small intestines that act to increase the surface area and support the villi and micro villi are called?
Plicae circularis.
Which structure is responsible for the absortion of nutrients from food?
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.
What does villi do in the body?
In the intestinal wall, the villi (with micro-villi on them) are used to increase the surface area (just like the inside of your lungs do). This means that in the relatively small space, a lot of the nutrients in the food you eat can be absorbed by them and then diffused into the blood stream.
ARE THE lumen surfaces of the tubule cells within the proximal convoluted tubule are covered with micro villi?
yes
What job does small intestine do?
The job That the small intestine does is absorbs small food particles through micro villi
Which nutrient will be absorbed by this small intestine?
micro villi in the jujeum (second part of your small intestine)
What adaptations do the villi in the small intestine have?
the villi have very thin walls which makes it easy for it to absorb the nutrients, and also it has microvilli on the surface of the villi which greatly increases the surface area of which nutrients can be absorbed
