The brush-like border of the epithelial cells of the villi is called the "microvilli." These tiny, finger-like projections increase the surface area of the intestinal lining, enhancing the absorption of nutrients during digestion. Microvilli contain numerous enzymes and transport proteins that facilitate the breakdown and uptake of various substances. They play a crucial role in the efficiency of nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
What else can I help you with?
What is a tissue that lines air passages?
They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found
What are all tall epithelial cells called?
Columnar cells
The epithelial cells that look like small cubes are called?
The epithelial cells that look like small cubes are called cuboidal epithelial cells. They are typically found in glands and kidney tubules where secretion and absorption take place.
What is a group of epethelial cells called?
Epithelial tissue: commonly called Skin.
What is the name of the throat tissue?
ciliated epithelial cells
What is a tissue that lines air passages?
They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found
A primary oocyte is closely surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called?
Primary oocyte is surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called follicular cells.
What forms a brush border extension of epithelial cells?
Microvilli form the brush border extension of epithelial cells in the small intestine and kidney. These microscopic finger-like projections increase the surface area of the cells, aiding in the absorption of nutrients and water.
What would a group of ciliated epithelial cells be called?
ciliated epithelial tissue
What are all tall epithelial cells called?
Columnar cells
The epithelial cells that look like small cubes are called?
The epithelial cells that look like small cubes are called cuboidal epithelial cells. They are typically found in glands and kidney tubules where secretion and absorption take place.
What is the structure that attaches epithelial cells to the basal lamina?
The structure that attaches epithelial cells to the basal lamina is called hemidesmosomes.
Cells that are arranged in several layers are called?
Squamous or Epithelial
What does the intestine wall made of?
Epithelial cells called villi
What is a group of epethelial cells called?
Epithelial tissue: commonly called Skin.
What is the name of the throat tissue?
ciliated epithelial cells
What does epithelial tissue do for the digestive system?
The epithelial membrane called the mucosa contains the lamina propria. The salivary glands are composed of serous cells and mucous cells.
