  1. The answer is A. villi- these structures increase surface area allowing the epithelial cells of the small intestines to take up a large volume of nutrients


  2. Villi/Microvilli are little bumps of tissue that vastly increase surface area for quicker digestion.

  3. the villi.

    in some parts of the digestive system, the villi even have microvilli on them to even increase the surface ares it comes in contact with.

    the villi anyways are curled in so as to maximize the possible surface area for nutrient absoprtion.

    that's all. hope it helps. God bless!
