The three types of villi are:
Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum.
Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus.
Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.

What is the inner wall of the villi line?
The small intestine is lined with microscopic fingerlike strutcures called villi which increase the surface area of the small intestine fo absorption. The spaces between villi are like a sieve that absorb the food particles into the bloodstream. There are three types of villi. Intestinal Villi which lines the intestines, Chorionic Villi which is on the outer most membrane of a fetus and Arachnoid Villi which is on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
Are finger like projections of the mucosa?
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
What is the small finger-like bumps in the small intestine?
They are called villi.
What is the organ that has villi to absorb the nutrients?
The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
What drains cerebrospinal fluid in to venous blood in the dural sinus?
Cerebrospinal fluid is drained into venous blood in the dural sinuses through structures called arachnoid granulations (also known as arachnoid villi or pacchionian bodies). These specialized projections of the arachnoid mater penetrate through the dura mater into the superior sagittal sinus and other dural sinuses, where they allow for the reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream.

What structure helps increase the surface area available for absorption?
The intestinal wall has invaginations (or dips) that have a much larger surface ares compared to a simple tube
What structure enables the small intestine to absorb large amounts of nutrients?
villi
What is a easy definition for micro villi?
A micro villi is a micro villi
Are villi present in the duodenum jejunum ileum?
Yes, villi are present in all three. Small soluble food molecules broken down by enzymes in bile (which is released in the ileum) are absorbed by the villi in the ileum. Water molecules are absorbed by villi in the duodenum (large intestines) by active transport - not osmosis, against a concentration gradient.
Are finger like projections of the mucosa?
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
How do you make villi plural?
Villi is plural. One is Villus, many are Villi.
What is In the small intestine?
Different types of nutrients are absorbed through small finger like structures called Villi.
Finger-like structures that cover the inner wall of the small intestine?
These are called villi and there are millions of them that line the small intestine and large intestine (Colon) they absorb the nutrients particularly in the Colon where they absorb liquid into the blood stream. This is what makes your stools hard (constipation) and painful to pass if you wait too long to go for a number 2. The peristaltic action moves the liquid along the small and large intestines.
What is the finger-like projections lining the small intestine which increase surface area?
Which one their are three parts to the small intestine. I think ur looking for villi
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.
How many villi do humans have?
about 7000 are in it and if you don't think is right than look some were else!
