2. Brush border - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_border

   A brush border (striated border or brush border membrane) is the microvillus-covered surface of simple cuboidal and simple columnar epithelium found in different parts of the body. Microvilli are approximately 100 nanometers in diameter and their length varies from approximately 100 to 2,000 nanometers.

3. Intestinal villus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_villus

   Intestinal villi (sg.: villus) are small, finger-like projections that extend into the lumen of the small intestine.Each villus is approximately 0.5–1.6 mm in length (in humans), and has many microvilli projecting from the enterocytes of its epithelium which collectively form the striated or brush border.

4. Proximal tubule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_tubule

   The proximal tubule is the segment of the nephron in kidneys which begins from the renal pole of the Bowman's capsule to the beginning of loop of Henle.At this location, the glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs) lining bowman’s capsule abruptly transition to proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTECs).

5. Microvillus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvillus

   Thousands of microvilli form a structure called the brush border that is found on the apical surface of some epithelial cells, such as the small intestines. (Microvilli should not be confused with intestinal villi, which are made of many cells. Each of these cells has many microvilli.)

6. Intestinal epithelium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_epithelium

   The brush border on the apical surface of the epithelial cells is covered with glycocalyx, which is composed of oligosaccharides attached to membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids. [ 7 ] TEM image of a thin section cut through an epithelial cell showing the luminal surface (apical end) of the cell packed with microvilli that make up the ...

7. Small intestine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_intestine

   The most important brush border enzymes are dextrinase and glucoamylase, which further break down oligosaccharides. Other brush border enzymes are maltase, sucrase and lactase. Lactase is absent in some adult humans and, for them, lactose (a disaccharide), as well as most polysaccharides, is not digested in the small intestine.

9. Enterocyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterocyte

   Intestinal stem cell aging has been studied in Drosophila as a model for understanding the biology of stem cell/niche aging. [4] Using knockdown mutants defective in various genes that function in the DNA damage response in enterocytes, it was shown that deficiency in the DNA damage response accelerates intestinal stem cell aging, thus ...
