Question

Is a microvilli is a tiny finger like projection that kills bacteria in the lymphatic system? true or false

Answer 1

Villi are tiny finger like projections present in the inner epithelial lining of the intestine. Each finger like villi is further divided into microvilli, which is the extension of plasma membrane of each epithelial cell of the villi. These villi and microvilli present on the inner surface of the intestine provide a greater surface area and this enhances the digestion and absorption of the nutrients.

Therefore, the correct answer is false as a microvilli is the tiny finger like projection of the inner epithelial cells of the small intestine that has absorptive functions.
