How the model is used in teaching
The inner wall of the small intestine is covered with millions of finger-like villi, which greatly increase the surface area available for absorption. A single villus is too small to study with the naked eye, so this model presents one in longitudinal section at classroom scale.
Inside the villus, the arterioles and venules are linked by a capillary network that carries absorbed sugars and amino acids away towards the liver, while the central lymphatic vessel (lacteal) takes up absorbed fats. Between the bases of the villi lie the crypts of Lieberkuhn, intestinal glands whose cells secrete intestinal juice and renew the lining.
- Explain where villi are found and why they increase the absorbing surface of the intestine.
- Identify the arterioles and venules in the section and describe the capillary network between them.
- Locate the lymphatic vessel and explain its role in fat absorption.
- Point out the crypts of Lieberkuhn and link them to the secretion of intestinal juice.
