Description
Small intestine structures. Artwork sequence of magnified views of the small intestine, with the magnification increasing from top to bottom. At top is a cutaway view, showing the lumen along which food passes as it is being digested. The three main layers (red, smooth muscle; orange, submucosa; yellow, mucosa) are shown here and in the second image, which shows large folds on the intestinal wall on which are projections called villi. Three sectioned villi are in the third image, with blood vessels (red and blue) and lymph vessels (green). The fourth image shows the enterocyte cells (microvilli brush border) that absorb nutrients.
