How is small intestine designed to absorb digested food?

Academic Biology NCERT Class 10

The inner lining of the small intestine has numerous tiny finger-like projections called villi which increase the surface area for the absorption of food.

The villi are richly supplied with blood vessels that take in the absorbed food and carry it to each and every cell of the body.
