Intestinal Villi, illustration

An illustrated section of villi of the small intestine. A villus is a small, finger-like projection extending into the lumen of the small intestine, increasing the surface area of intestinal walls to increase nutrient absorption into the bloodstream. Capillaries and lacteals (lymph vessels) extend into each villus to collect broken down sugars, amino acids, and fats that diffuse through the epithelium.
