Light micrograph transverse section through the small intestine of a frog. The principal function of the small intestine is to break down food, absorb nutrients needed for the body and get rid of the unnecessary components. The image shows the smooth muscle on the outside edge, then the submucosa. The finger-like villi can be seen on the inside with the white lumen. | |
