What is Functions of Villi in Small Intestine about?

The document discusses the function of villi in the small intestine and describes a model that can be created to demonstrate this. The small intestine is lined with finger-like projections called villi that absorb nutrients from digested food. A bath mat with loops on the inside can be rolled up and covered with mesh on the outside to represent the villi and blood vessels. Putting a hand inside allows students to feel the villi and understand how they increase the surface area for absorption.
