Definition of Microvilli. Meaning of Microvilli. Synonyms of Microvilli

- Microvilli (sg.: microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area for diffusion and minimize any increase in volume...
- many microvilli projecting from the enterocytes of its epithelium which collectively form the striated or brush border. Each of 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" projections that may...
- collared flagellates, having a funnel shaped collar of interconnected microvilli at the base of a flagellum. Choanoflagellates are capable of both a****ual...
- referred to as the juxtaparanodal region. The nodes are encapsulated by microvilli stemming from the outer aspect of the Schwann cell membrane in the PNS...
- that contain a central flagellum, or cilium, surrounded by a collar of microvilli which are connected by a thin membrane. They make up the choanoderm, a...
- extensions that attach to astrocytes. The apical side is covered in cilia and microvilli. Lining the CSF-filled ventricles, and spinal canal, the ependymal cells...
- structure found at the apical surface of epithelial cells that possess microvilli. It is composed primarily of actin filaments stabilized by spectrin, which...
- serve to increase the mucosal surface area tenfold. (Intestinal villus) Microvilli covering the apical surface of the enterocytes increase the absorptive...
