| Brief description of the innerlining of the small intestines | Villus(fingerlike)help increase the surface area of the small intestine, making it easier to absorb nutrients. each villus is covered in microvilli which also increases surface area. villus contain arteries and veins bringing blood to and from the villi and lymph vessels help transport fats. |
