Question

The small intestine is structurally different from the stomach due to the presence of:

• A. Digestive gland
• B. Villi
• C. Muscle
• D. Bones

Answer 1

The correct option is B Villi

Digested food is taken up by the walls of the small intestine. The inner lining of the small intestine has numerous finger-like projections called villi which increase the surface area for absorption. The villi are richly supplied with blood vessels that take the absorbed food to each and every cell of the body.

So, the correct answer is option B.
