  2. Terminal web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_web

    The terminal web is a filamentous structure found at the apical surface of epithelial cells that possess microvilli. It is composed primarily of actin filaments stabilized by spectrin, which also anchors the terminal web to the apical cell membrane. The presence of myosin II and tropomyosin helps to explain the contractile ability of the ...

  3. Microvillus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvillus

    The plus ends of the actin filaments are located at the tip of the microvillus and are capped, possibly by capZ proteins, [2] while the minus ends are anchored in the terminal web composed of a complicated set of proteins including spectrin and myosin II. The space between microvilli at a cell's surface is called the intermicrovillous space.

  4. Cellular extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_extensions

    Other cellular extensions that protrude from the cell membrane are known as membrane protrusions or cell protrusions, also cell appendages, such as flagella, and microvilli. [8] [9] Microtentacles are cell protrusions attached to free-floating cells, associated with the spread of some cancer cells. [10]

  5. Brush border - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_border

    Microvilli are approximately 100 nanometers in diameter and their length varies from approximately 100 to 2,000 nanometers. Because individual microvilli are so small and are tightly packed in the brush border, individual microvilli can only be resolved using electron microscopes ; [ 1 ] with a light microscope they can usually only be seen ...

  6. Microvillous inclusion disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvillous_inclusion_disease

    Prenatal screening in utero is currently offered by several medical centers since the gene(s) involved in the disease were recently discovered to be MYO5B; [6] [7] Diagnosis is typically made by biopsy of the small intestine.

    The entire perception of what stage four of cancer is, and means, can be changed, he believes: “Stage 4’s not just, right, this is the end of your life. There’s more to be lived,” he said.

  8. Respiratory epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_epithelium

    Between the ciliated cells are numerous microvilli, attached as tufts to brush cells sometimes referred to as pulmonary brush cells; [9] these are also known as the tuft cells of the gastrointestinal tract, or intestinal tuft cells, [10] although there is a difference between the two types: the brush cells lack the terminal web that lies under ...
