What is a easy definition for micro villi?
A micro villi is a micro villi
Projections of the plasma membrane of a mucosal epithelial cell?
The plasma membrane of a mucosal epithelial cell can form microvilli, which are finger-like projections that increase the cell's surface area for absorption. It can also have tight junctions, which are responsible for creating a barrier that prevents leakage of material between cells. Additionally, the plasma membrane may contain cilia, which are hair-like structures that help with movement and sensing in certain epithelial cells.
What structures within a cell?
cell membrane
What are the three types of villi?
The three types of villi are: Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum. Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus. Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
Does micro villi secrete anything?
no
What are tiny fingerlike projections that cover the folds of the small intestines?
The tiny fingerlike projections that cover the folds of the small intestine are called villi. Villi increase the surface area of the small intestine, allowing for more efficient absorption of nutrients from digested food.
How do the micro villi help in the absorption of food?
small intestine
How do the finger like structures relate to the function of the small intestine?
The finger-like structures in the small intestine, called villi, increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. This allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream.
What placental structure has villi?
The chorionic villi, which are finger-like projections on the surface of the chorion (part of the fetal membrane), contain blood vessels that allow for the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and the fetus.
The large folds of tissue in the small intestines that act to increase the surface area and support the villi and micro villi are called?
Plicae circularis.
What slender extensions increases the plasma membrane's surface?
Microvilli are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area for absorption and secretion. They are commonly found in cells that are involved in absorption, such as epithelial cells in the intestine and kidney.
What does villi contain - tissue or blood vessels?
yes
