    Intestinal villi (sg.: villus) are small, finger-like projections that extend into the lumen of the small intestine. Each villus is approximately 0.5–1.6 mm in length (in humans), and has many microvilli projecting from the enterocytes of its epithelium which collectively form the striated or brush border.

    The intestinal mucosa turnover is dynamic, nutrient-dependent and rapid, [52] and malnourished children have rate-limiting stores for repairing mucosal damage. [ 24 ] The nutrients known to contribute to intestinal regeneration and improved barrier function are sulphur containing amino acids, [ 53 ] glutamine, vitamin A and zinc.
