Q

What is the role of the small intestine in digestion

A

Absorbs food into the blood stream

17
Q

Q

How is the small intestine adapted to its function

A

Because it is where all the enzymes are present. It is adapted as it is covered in Villi to give it a large surface area, it has a thin layer of cells and a good blood supply
