The villus is a small finger-like projection present in the small intestine that aids in absorption. It is located in the infoldings of the small intestine within the abdominal cavity. The villus has a central lymph vessel called a lacteal surrounded by blood capillaries. These structures absorb nutrients like glucose, amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids from digested food and transport them to tissues through the bloodstream and lacteals.

2. VILLUS

3. Place of Villus
• The villus is small finger like projections present in small
intestine.
• Small intestine presen in abdomanal cavity of humans.
• The inner part of the small intestine has many
infoldings
• The villi are present in the infoldings of small intestine.

5. Structure of villus
• The villus is finger like shape
• The central portion of villus has a lymph
vessel known as lacteal.
• Blood capilleries cover the lacteal.

6. Functions of villus
• Lacteal absorb and transport Glycerol
and fatty acid to the tissues.
• Capilleries absorb and transport Glucose
and Amino acids to the tissues.
