Transcribed Image Text:**Histological Image of Intestinal Villi**
This image displays a histological section of intestinal villi, which are small, finger-like projections extending into the lumen of the small intestine. Here is a detailed explanation of each labeled part:
- **A (Epithelium):** The outer layer of cells covering the villi, responsible for nutrient absorption.
- **B (Lamina Propria):** The connective tissue core of the villus, containing blood vessels and lymphatics for transporting absorbed nutrients.
- **C (Goblet Cells):** Secrete mucus to lubricate the intestinal lining and facilitate the passage of food.
- **D (Crypts of Lieberkühn):** Tubular glands located at the base of the villi, involved in secreting intestinal juices and new cell production.
- **E (Muscularis Mucosae):** A thin layer of muscle fibers found at the base of the villi, aiding in slight movements of the mucosal surface to help with digestion.
- **F (Submucosa):** The layer beneath the muscularis mucosae, consisting of connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves, supporting the mucosa and serving various functional roles.
This image is crucial for understanding the structure and function of the small intestine in nutrient absorption.
