________ thousands of tiny projections that add even more surface area to villi​
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Each villus, in turn, has thousands of even smaller projections called microvilli (singular: microvillus).

Explanation:

The villi contain capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels. Nutrients are absorbed into these capillaries across the surfaces of the villi and microvilli. Because there are millions of these tiny projections, they greatly increase the surface area for absorption.

tekilochka [14]

Vectorborne transmission of an infectious organism occurs via <u>animals or insects. </u>

Vectors are living organisms that can transfer an infectious disease from infected animals to humans. These species are known as arthropods. It includes mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, etc.

There are two types of vectors; Biological and mechanical.

Biological vectors such as mosquitos transmit the disease by biting the host body. Mechanical vectors on the other hand cause infectious disease just by physical contact.

Arthropod vectors are cold-blooded. The diseases that are transmitted by them are known as vector-borne diseases. Malaria and Dengue are examples of vector-borne diseases.
