Absorbs whater and electrolytes mainly but does absorb some vitamins as well. Its also the formation and storage of feces --------------------- Material that escaped digestion in the small intestine is acted on by bacteria in the large intestine. As such additional nutrients from cellulose and other fibers are absorbed such as vitamin K and B complex vitamins and a minimal amount of water, salts and other vitamins. Otherwise this area is not well suited for absorption because no villi are present.
The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
The small hair-like parts that absorb nutrients from food in the intestines are called villi. Villi are finger-like projections that line the walls of the small intestine and increase surface area for nutrient absorption. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through the villi and are then circulated throughout the body.
Villi and microvilli.
Villi are small finger-like projections in the lining of the small intestine that increase surface area for absorption of nutrients from food. Their job is to absorb digested nutrients such as sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids, and transport them into the bloodstream to be used by the body.
The blood vessels in the villi absorb nutrients from digested food in the small intestine and transport them to the rest of the body. This allows nutrients like glucose and amino acids to be distributed to cells for energy and growth.
Capillaries in Villi absorb all other nutrients except fat.

The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
Yes, mammals have villi. An example is the villi in the intestines of humans which help to absorb nutrients.
Villi are located in the large intestine. They absorb excess water.
The role of the villi in the small intestine is to absorb nutrients.
No. Villi help to absorb nutrients.
Fingerlike projections that absorb nutrients in the small intestine are called villi. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal lining, allowing for better absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
The villi is only one cell thick so it easier to absorb.

-Villi The first answer is correct in the villi are very small finger like projections in the intestines but I would suspect the question refers to the appendix.
