Question 5:
How is the small intestine designed to absorb digested food?
Answer
The small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called villi. These villi
increase the surface area for more efficient food absorption. Within these villi, many
blood vessels are present that absorb the digested food and carry it to the blood
stream. From the blood stream, the absorbed food is delivered to each and every cell
of the body.
