Chapter 25, Problem 10WWTS
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The small intestine lies between the stomach and the large intestine. The small intestine consists of three parts: the jejunum, the duodenum, and the ileum. It aids in digestion and absorption of ingested food. The tissue layers of the small intestine are similar to the layers of the esophagus and the stomach. Simple columnar epithelial cells line the lumen. The externa possesses a thick circular layer inside. The jejunum and ileum are covered with serosa on all sides, but in the case of duodenal serosa, it is seen only on the anterior surface.

A general principle of physiology is that structure is a determinant of—and has coevolved with—function. One example highlighted in this chapter is the large surface area provided by the villous and microvillous structure of the cells lining the small intestine
The single layer of columnar epithelial cells lining the small intestine has a brush border of microvilli. How do you think microvilli increase absorption?
Describe the intestine as a barrier function
