Intestinal Villi, illustration

An illustrated section of villi from the small intestine as well as a close up view of a single villus. Villi are finger-like projections that extend into the lumen of the small intestine, increasing surface area for greater nutrient absorption. Each villus is lined with columnar epithelium known as enterocytes, with each cell containing microvilli to further increase surface area. Digested nutrients are absorbed into nearby capillaries so that it can then be transported to the rest of the body.
