Question

why are villi present in small intestin not in stomach?

Dhananjay · Accepted Answer

This is because the function of vill is to provide a large
surface area for the absorption of the digsted food Absorption of
digested food takes place only in the small intestine-not in the
stomach(which is mainly concerned with the digestion of
proteins)-so villi are present in the small intestine and not in
the stomach
