What are the microscopic hairs on your taste buds called and what do they do?
They are not actually hairs but hair-like projections that increase the surface area of your taste buds, gustatory organs, and they are called cilia.
What are the surface elevations of the tongue capable of perceiving taste called?
Rough projections on the surface of the tongue called PAPILLAE contain taste buds.
Are finger like projections of the mucosa?
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
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
Do mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the surface?
True. Mucous membrane are composed of epithelial cell resting on a lyer of loose connective tissue called the lamina proparia. They linine all body cavities that open to the body exterior- the respiratory.
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.
How is the small intestings adapted to increase absorption of food?
The cells that line small intestines have small projections on their surface called villi. These projections collectively increase the total surface area of the small intestine. This adaptation facilitates increased absorption of nutrients
What are the microscopic hairs on your taste buds called and what do they do?
They are not actually hairs but hair-like projections that increase the surface area of your taste buds, gustatory organs, and they are called cilia.
Finger-like extensions increasing surface area in small intestine?
Microvilli are finger-like projections that increase the surface area in the small intestine.
What is the name of the projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?
projections r called ..VILLI
What are the microscopic hair in your taste buds called and what do they do?
They are not actually hairs but hair-like projections that increase the surface area of your taste buds, gustatory organs, and they are called cilia.
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.
How is small intestine better adapted for absorption than thatof large intestine?
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
What cell is cell lining the small intestine?
the cell lining of the small intestine is called villi and are small, finger-like projections that are used to increase surface area.
What are fingerlike projections of cytoplasm?
Fingerlike projections of cytoplasm and known as pseudopod(s). Pseudopd organisms are typically found on in the microscopic subkingdom of Protozoa( genus Amoeba).
What is a lining if the small intestine?
the lining of the small intestine has folds, and are covered with finger-like projections called villi, which are covered with thousands of micro-villi
What are the surface elevations of the tongue capable of perceiving taste called?
Rough projections on the surface of the tongue called PAPILLAE contain taste buds.
