Question

The villi are most developed in the
A) stomach.
B) duodenum.
C) jejunum.
D) gallbladder.
E) cecum.

Accepted Answer

Villi are most developed in the jejunum, which is the middle section of the small intestine. This is where most of the nutrient absorption takes place, so having a large surface area with many finger-like projections (villi) allows for more efficient absorption. The stomach, gallbladder, and cecum do not have villi, and while there are villi in the duodenum, they are not as well-developed as those in the jejunum.
