What is the purpose of the microvilli in the proximal convoluted tubule?

∙ 12y ago
Microvilli are the finger like projections present on the outer surface of the cell. Their function is to increase the surface area of the cells through which the diffusion of materials both into and out of the cell occur. They are also involved in absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.

Tissue lining the proximal convoluted tubule?
Simple cuboidal epithelium with microvilli
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What is removed at the proximal convoluted tubule?
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.
Once fluid enters the proximal convoluted tubule?
+
Reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the?
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. It is found in the nephrons of the kidney.
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a distal convoluted tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
Tissue lining the proximal convoluted tubule?
Simple cuboidal epithelium with microvilli
Which parts of the renal tubule is formed by cuboidal epithelial cells bordered by dense microvilli?
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
Is it true that lumen surfaces of the tubule cells within the proximal convoluted tubule ae covered with microvilli?
yes, it's true
In which segment of the nephron would you find cuboidal cells with many microvilli and mitochondria?
The Proximal Convoluted Tubule
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
Is creatinine reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule?
no
