Question

Villi are present in ________.

• A. Pancreas
• B. Stomach
• C. Small intestine
• D. Oesophagus

Answer 1

The correct option is C Small intestine

• The inner lining of the small intestine contain tiny finger like projections called Villi. These greatly increase the inner surface area for absorption of digested food.
• The surface of these villi are well supplied with a network of thin blood vessels, through which glucose and amino acids are passed into the bloodstreams. And fats are passed through specialised tubes called lymphatic vessels.
• Thus, Option C is correct.
