Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following epithelial cells are involved in the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. Is it answer choice. A keratinocytes. Answer choice B goblet cells. Answer choice C transitional epithelial cells or answer choice D and terracy. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the type of epithelial cell that is involved in the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what type of epithelial cells are present in the small intestine and involved in the absorption of nutrients, which we know that in relation to epithelial cells and the absorption of nutrients, we know that the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine utilizes epithelial tissue that has micro vli on the surface. Since that micro vli are responsible for increasing the surface area for absorption and are crucial for nutrient uptake since they increase the efficiency of nutrient absorption in the small intestine. So we are looking for a type of epithelial cell that has that micro vli present on their apical surface. And we can recall that we are looking for answer choice D and terracy which and terracy are specialized columnar epithelium that are present in the small intestine and function to absorb the nutrients through the use of micro vli on their apical surface. So answer choice D is the correct answer and answer choice. A keratinocytes is incorrect since the primary role of keratin sites is to produce carton. Answer choice B goblet cells is incorrect. Since the primary role of goblet cells is to produce mucus and answer choice. C transitional epithelial cells is incorrect. Since transitional epithelial cells are specialized in stretching and answer choice D is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
