Answer
Below is the labelled diagram of the "Microscopic Structure of an intestinal villus":
(a) A large number of villi enormously increase the inner surface area of the small intestine which facilitates the absorption of digested food.
(b) The fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed into the lacteals to enter the lymphatic system which forms a network all over the body to ultimately empty its contents into the blood stream.
(c) Intestinal juice
(d)
- Salivary gland - Saliva (amylase)
- Stomach - Gastric juice
- Liver - Bile
- Pancreas - Pancreatic juice
