The phrase "absorptive surface area" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, chemistry, or materials science, where the focus is on the surface area available for absorption.
Example: "The absorptive surface area of the intestinal lining is crucial for nutrient uptake."
Alternatives: "surface area for absorption" or "area available for absorption".
As hypercaloric diets usually provide large quantities of fat [ 18], the intestine is forced to adapt to the lipid overload by increasing its absorption capacity [ 19] through an increase in its absorptive surface area and an upregulation of genes encoding for proteins involved in lipid uptake and processing [ 20, 21].
This specialization is apparent in a series of large and small invaginations of the intestine formed by villi and microvilli, which serve to greatly increase the absorptive surface area of the brush-border for the efficient digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients [ 1, 2].
The best current treatment for inadequate absorptive surface area is through intestinal transplantation.
This volume describes a comprehensive but simple technique for determination of the intestinal absorptive surface area in mammals of different sizes (from harvest mouse to horse).
Root hairs are important to plants for nutrient and water uptake through providing an increased absorptive surface area and exploitable soil volume.
Although the small intestine is only 3 to 4 cm in diameter and approximately 7 metres in length, it has been estimated that its total absorptive surface area is approximately 4,500 square metres (5,400 square yards).
No correlation existed between the flower head size and the proportion of UV absorptive petal surface area (r = 0.051, n = 25, P = 0.810).
This simply means that bigger flowers had more UV absorptive petal surface area than littler flowers, which says nothing about the relative size of floral guides.
Like the urban population, no correlation existed between the floral head size and the proportion of UV absorptive petal surface area (r = 0.191, n = 21, P = 0.431).
Removal of mediators with hemofiltration is determined by solute characteristics (size, charge, geometry and free fraction), membrane characteristics (pore size, surface area and absorptive features) and ultrafiltrate flow.
25 This enigmatic disorder is characterized by villus blunting, reduced intestinal epithelial surface area and absorptive capacity, altered gut mucosal barrier integrity, and immunoinflammatory changes.
