10.3.1.1.1. It is mainly made up of no. Of viili They help us in enormous increase in surface area which does absorption Inside the viilus their r many artery ,vein, capillaries, lymph nodes (lacteal)
10.4. It severs as both absorption and digestion It recieves both bile and pancreatic juices
10.5. Bile
10.5.1. Yellowish green ,watery,produced in the liver, transported through hepatic which is joined to cystic duct It is stored in Ball bladder. The colour is due to pigment called biliverdin and bilirubin. It contains Na2Co3 The bile duct through a emulsification for greater surface area for enzymes
