Microvilli (sg.: microvillus) are
microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that
increase the
surface area for
diffusion and
minimize any

- many
microvilli projecting from the
enterocytes of its
epithelium which collectively form the
striated or

these microvilli are about...
- nanometers.
Because individual microvilli are so
small and are
tightly packed in the
brush border,
individual microvilli can only be
resolved using electron...

- cell modifications. They are
distinct from
cilia and
microvilli, but are
closely related to
microvilli. They form
single "finger-like"
