What is the role of Villi in human digestive system

Answered by admin @



There are also enzymes (enterocyte digestive enzyme) on the surface for digestion. Villus capillaries collect amino acids and simple sugars taken up by the villi into the blood stream. ... They have a large surface area so there will be more efficient absorption of fatty acids and glycerol into the blood stream.
