Vedclass · Answer

(C) The small intestine is the principal site for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is highly adapted for this function due to the presence of numerous finger-like projections called villi and microvilli,which significantly increase the surface area for absorption. Most of the end products of digestion,such as glucose,amino acids,fatty acids,and glycerol,are absorbed into the blood or lymph through the mucosal lining of the small intestine.
