Microvilli cilia and goblet cells are modifications of which type of epithelial tissue?

They are modifications of simple columnar epithelial tissue.


What tissue is microvilli and goblet cells associated with?

Microvilli are associated with the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine, where they increase surface area for absorption. Goblet cells are specialized cells found in the epithelial tissue of the respiratory and digestive tracts, where they secrete mucus to protect and lubricate the lining of these organs.


What epithelial tissue lines the stomach and its microvilli and increase surface area for absoption?

There's some confusion here. The stomach lacks microvilli as it is NOT an organ of absorption. It's function is to churn your food into an isotonic mush ... so that your small intestines, which do have microvilli, can absorb nutrients.


Tissue lining the proximal convoluted tubule?

The tissue lining the proximal convoluted tubule in the kidney is composed of a single layer of simple cuboidal epithelial cells with microvilli on their apical surface. These cells are responsible for reabsorbing substances such as glucose, amino acids, and ions from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. The microvilli increase the surface area available for absorption.


What is the plural of microvilli?

Microvilli is plural and Microvillus is singular.


What are the folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cells surface area?

The folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cell's surface area are called microvilli. They are small, finger-like projections found on the surface of certain types of cells, particularly in cells involved in absorption, to increase the surface area for better nutrient absorption.


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 three types of tissue?

There are four major tissue types: epithelia, connective, muscle and nervous tissue.


What are the 4 types of cell tissue?

The four basic types of cell tissue are epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue.
