A histologic-style diagram of the small intestinal wall shows mucosal villi lined by simple columnar epithelium with a brush border overlying lamina propria containing capillary loops (arteries and veins) and a central lacteal (lymphatic capillary). Beneath the mucosa lie the submucosa with glandular tissue and the muscularis externa. In the biological hierarchy, epithelial cells form villi within intestinal mucosa, part of the GI (gastrointestinal) tract. In anatomy and physiology, these structures enable nutrient absorption and chylomicron transport from the intestinal lumen.
