Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The small intestine has a significantly higher number of villi compared to the large intestine. This is because the small intestine is the primary site of nutrient absorption, and the villi increase the surface area to facilitate this process. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and does not require as many villi.
