Question

Numerous finger like projections are seen in two organs of human alimentary canal. Name the organs in which they are present. How do they differ in their role in both the organs?

Answer 1

Two finger-like projections in the human alimentary canal are:

1- Uvula (present at the back of the throat)

2- Villi (present in the small intestine)

Step-by-step explanation:

Uvula is a small finger-like flesh which hangs at the edge of the palate.

When we eat food, it helps to prevent the food from entering into the nasal cavity.

Villi are made up microvilli (Microscopic projections) which absorb specific nutrients from the digested food into lacteals and capillaries.
