Celiac disease is dangerous in affected individuals, because ingesting gluten damages the villi of the small intestines. Why is this potentially life threatening? a. The villi aid in mechanical digestion of food particles. When they are damaged, nutrients cannot be digested properly in the body. b. Villi increase the surface area of the small intestine, which aids in the absorption of bile salts. This nutrient cannot be absorbed when they are damaged. c. Villi decrease the surface area of the small intestine available for absorption. Nutrients cannot properly enter the bloodstream when they are damaged. d. Villi increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. When villi are damaged, nutrients cannot properly enter the bloodstream.
