6 0

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.

seropon [69]

The pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas. This pancreatic juice is secreted into the first part of the small intestine known as the duodenum. This pancreatic juice is rich in various enzymes that help in the digestion of various food components (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). Besides being rich in enzymes, it is also rich in bicarbonate content. The bicarbonate works to neutralize the acidic chyme. This helps the enzymes to function and carry out digestion properly. If the pancreas fails to produce bicarbonate, then the function of enzymes will be altered, and the acidic chyme (coming from the stomach) will damage the small intestine walls.
