What are short hairlike projections on a cell surface?
Long and few - or one - are flagella, short and numerous are called cilia.
What is the difference between a villi and microvilli?
Both are found inside the small intestine, are microscopic, and are used to increase the surface area of the small intestine. Villi are tiny microscopic folds in the small intestine lining. Microvilli are little hairlike projections from individual epithelial cells of the small intestine. They have capillaries and a lacteal that lead to the circulatory and lymph systems to transport nutrients that are absorbed.
What is the name of projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?
The minute structures that project from the inner walls of the small intestine are called villi. They help in the digestion process by continuously pushing digested particles in one direction. Their function is to absorb nutrients. These villi effectively increase the surface area of the intestine so more nutrients can be absorbed.
Why are the walls of the small intestine lined with small projections?
It increases the surface area of the inside of the intestine, this allows for more area where nutrients can be absorbed.
Tiny projections which line the small intestine and function to increase the surface area and thus increase absorption rate are known as?
Villi
What are short hairlike projections on a cells surface that are composed of micro-tubules?
Cillia
What are short hairlike projections on cell surface that are composed of microtubules?
eukaryotic cells
What is the cell's hairlike structure that helps with locomotion?
Hairlike projections that aid in the movement of substances along a cell's surface are called cilia
Which of these is the best definition for cilia?
Cilia are tiny hairlike projections in, for example the small intestine, that increase the surface area. They usually have a good blood supply.
How do you spell texture?
The correct spelling is "texture" (consistency or surface appearance).
What are short hairlike projections on a cell surface?
Long and few - or one - are flagella, short and numerous are called cilia.
What structures are involved in cell movement?
Cilia are short, hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells. Flagellaare long, tail like projections. Unlike ciliates, flagellates usually have one flagellum.
How do you spell puddle?
That is the correct spelling of "puddle" (as a noun, a liquid on a surface).
How do you spell snorkiling?
The correct spelling is snorkeling (shallow surface diving).
How do you spell teirrian?
The correct spelling is "terrain" (a land surface environment).
How do you spell exturnal?
The correct spelling is external (on the outside, on an outer surface).
How do you spell miror?
The correct spelling is mirror (reflective surface, to reflect).
