What would happen to your body's absorption rate of the intestines if villi had no microvilli?
If the villi of the intestines had no microvilli, the absorption rate of the intestines would be significantly reduced. Microvilli are tiny finger-like projections on the surface of the villi that increase the surface area for absorption. Without microvilli, there would be less surface area available for nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a decrease in absorption efficiency.
Where can secretion and absorption be found in the body?
microvilli
Are microvilli ciliated or nonciliated stratified columnar cells?
Microvilli cells are simple columnar epithelium. Stratified epithelia don't have cilia or microvilli because they are on the inner layers of epithelia. Think about it, cillia and microvilli are used to help the processes of absorption and secretion within the lumen. ex: upper respiratory tract.
What structure provides a large surface are for absorption in the ileum?
microvilli
What would you expect to find in cells whose main function is absorption?
Microvilli

What is the function of the microvilli?
They are located in the small intestine and help with absorption of nutrients from digested food. They also increase a cells surface area
How do microvilli help with absorption?
The microvilli have finger-like shapes originating from the villi that line the small intestine. They greatly increase the surface area of individual cells when it comes to absorbing nutrients.
What structure increase surface area for absorption of nutrients?
Microvilli, villi, plicae circulares, if choosing just one i would go with microvilli because the tremendously increase the surface area for absorption in the absorptive cell
What epithelial tissue lines the stomach and its microvilli and increase surface area for absoption?
There's some confusion here. The stomach lacks microvilli as it is NOT an organ of absorption. It's function is to churn your food into an isotonic mush ... so that your small intestines, which do have microvilli, can absorb nutrients.
How does microvilli help in the digestion of food?
The provide the small intestine with a large surface area, and provides the capillaries close to the surface.
Where can secretion and absorption be found in the body?
microvilli
What structure helps increase the surface area available for absorption?
The intestinal wall has invaginations (or dips) that have a much larger surface ares compared to a simple tube
What are the folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cells surface area?
microvilli increase surface area for absorption
What is the functions of simple columnar with microvilli?
Absorption of materials
Microvilli are apt to be found in cells that are specialized for?
Absorption
