What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?

Microvilli are plasma membrane extensions that create the most surface area for the cell. These finger-like projections are found in cells involved in absorption, such as the cells lining the small intestine, and increase the cell's ability to transport nutrients.
