it is a thin protuberance present in great abundance at the surface of some epithelial cells, notably in the gut, thus increasing the surface area available for absorption

What is the plural of microvilli?
Microvilli is plural and Microvillus is singular.
What structurs increase the surface area in the small intestine?
the villi or villus or microvillus or microvilli or muscosal villi
Hair-like structures lining the walls of the small intestine are called?
The Villi
Two structures present in an epithelial cell from the small intestine that are not present in a cholera bacterium?
nucleus microvillus
Where is the border brush located?
That is the microvillus border of intestinal epithelial cells:Small Intestine Brush Borderhttp://tinyurl.com/4zw8p8
What is the main thing that eSpin does?
Espin is a form of protein. It is used to structure the dynamics and dimensions of the microvillus-type specializations in multiple mechanosensory cells.
What structure increase surface area for absorption of nutrients?
Microvilli, villi, plicae circulares, if choosing just one i would go with microvilli because the tremendously increase the surface area for absorption in the absorptive cell
What structure in the small intestine increases its surface area?
Villi (might be mispelled). They're kind of like microscopic hairs that help absorb nutrients in the small intestine leading to a greater surface area.
What does microvilli do in a cell?
Microvilli (singular: microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area of cells. They are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
Why are micro-villi an important modification?
Microvillus are tiny cellular membranes that through microscopic protrusions increase the surface area of cells and are involved in many cellular processes, such as absorption, secretion, and adhesion.
What is the name of the 22-foot long coiled tube where most chemical digestion and absorption of food occurs?
It's called the Small Intestine. It is the longest part of your digestive system. Through a muscular movement called peristalsis, food is squeezed through the small intestine. The nutrients from food are absorbed into your blood stream by microvillus, which are microscopic and line the intestine. Once the food has passed through the small intestine, all the important nutrients have been extracted so the left over food is passed on through the large intestine and later excreted.
