How is the structure of ileum is well adapted for the absorption of digested food​

Answer»

Adaptation of the ileum for absorption:

Large surface area – DUE to being long and FOLDED. Thin – digested food doesn't have to travel far to REACH the blood. Permeable – digested food can PASS through easily. Good blood supply – to maintain the concentration GRADIENT for diffusion between the ileum and bloodstream.
