  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. 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.)

  4. Simple columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_columnar_epithelium

    Absorptive columnar epithelium is characterized as having a striated border on its apical side, this border is made up of non-motile microvilli allowing for increase surface area for absorption. [1] These are known as non-ciliated columnar epithelium.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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 absorbing ...

    Microplastics were detected in almost every seafood sample found off the coast of the western U.S. in a recent study. The particles were found in the edible tissue of six different species of fish.
