What else can I help you with?
Which cell has long finger like projections with thin walls to help it absorb water?
villi finger in small intestine
Which GI tract contains villi?
The small intestine contains villi. Villi are small finger-like projections on the inner lining of the small intestine that help increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
What is a pair of tubes with fingerlike projections?
A pair of tubes with fingerlike projections refers to the fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system. These tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus and are where fertilization typically occurs. The fingerlike projections, called fimbriae, help capture the egg released from the ovary and direct it into the tube.
What are the finger like projections in the small intestine that act to increase the surface for absorption?
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
Where is dermal papillae?
Dermal papillae are located at the boundary between the epidermis and the dermis in the skin. They are small, finger-like projections that help anchor the epidermis to the dermis and play a role in blood flow and sensation.
Is a microtubule the most similar structure of cilium?
Yes, a cilium contains microtubules as its core structural component. Cilia are microtubule-based cellular projections that help with movement and sensing in various organisms.
What are the thin walls which help food particles to pass through?
Villi are the thin walls in the small intestine that help food particles pass through by absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream. These tiny finger-like projections increase the surface area of the intestine for efficient absorption of nutrients.
Fringed fingerlike extensions that catch the ovum?
Fimbriae are fringed fingerlike extensions of the fallopian tubes that help "catch" the released ovum (egg) from the ovary during ovulation. They help to guide the egg into the fallopian tube for potential fertilization by sperm.
What contans finger-like projtions that help with mobility of the egg is mammary glands?
The structure you are referring to is likely the fimbriae, which are finger-like projections at the end of the fallopian tubes, not mammary glands. These fimbriae help to guide the egg released from the ovary into the tube, facilitating its movement towards the uterus for potential fertilization. Mammary glands, on the other hand, are responsible for producing milk in mammals, and do not have a role in the mobility of eggs.
What are the types of Cell extensions?
There are three main types of cell extensions in biology: cilia, flagella, and microvilli. Cilia are short, numerous hair-like projections that help with movement and sensing. Flagella are long, whip-like extensions that aid in cell movement. Microvilli are small, finger-like projections that increase the surface area of cells for absorption and secretion.
What are the hairlike projections called?
I am guessing you are referring to cilia, which are tiny hair like projections in the human body that help move cells, and keep out germs.
Why are fingerlike projections important for Amoeba?
I am recalling from life sciences many moons ago - amoeba move in that manner. They project a finger in the direction they want to go then move their innards into that finger. This moves them slowly. It can also be used to encapsulate whatever it eats.
