Question

“In human alimentary canal the small intestine is designed to absorb the digested food.” Justify this statement.

Answer 1

1. The small intestine’s millions of microscopic projections that resemble fingers, known as villi, are what allow it to absorb digested food. 
2. The surface area is increased for effective food absorption by these villi.
3. Every region of the body is disturbed by the blood vessels in the villi that absorb nutrients.
4. The length of the intestine allows for effective absorption.
5. Several digestive enzymes were also present, which aided in the breakdown of food for absorption.
