Think - What is the function of these finger-like projections in the villi?

Describe using specific names of nutrients.

the villus will be flattened and thus decreases the surface area to volume ratio, the rate of absorption slows down and lesser nutrients will be absorbed into the bloodstream. glucose amino acids and fatty acids and glycerol absorption will decrease. the microvilli that lines along each villus will also decrease and the rate of absorption will go down

# data[].attributes.body
the finger-like projections of the villi increases the surface area to volume ratio of the small intestine which helps in efficient absorption of nutrients. if the patient has celiac disease, their rate of digestion would be slowed down, as the finger-like projections are flattened and there is a smaller surface area to volume ratio

Lesser amino acids and glucose will be transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. Thus, there will be lesser glucose transported out of the liver via the hepatic vein to the rest of the body. Thus there will lesser energy source for cellular respiration and lesser glucose stored as glycogen in the liver. There will also be lesser amino acids deaminated into urea. The growth and repair and synthesis of enzymes and hormones will be slowed down.

Celiac Disease causes the villi to shrink when glucose is consumed. This results in a lower rate of digestion due to the lower surface area to volume ratio.

There is less intestinal juice that will be released from the villi, and chemical digestion will be slowed down.

The villus will be flattened and the finger -like structure will be gone. So it will have a smaller surface area to volume ratio and the glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol will be absorbed at a slower rate.
