Answer to Question 1

After an intestinal resection, the remaining intestine undergoes intestinal adaptation, which dramatically improves the intestine's absorptive capacity. Adaptationwhich depends on the presence of nutrients and GI secretions in the lumen begins soon after surgery and continues for several years. During this period, the remaining section of intestine develops taller villi and deeper crypts and also grows in length and diameter; these changes dramatically increase the absorptive surface area.
