Brush border cells are found mainly in the following organs: The small intestine tract: This is where absorption takes place. [2] [3] [4] The brush borders of the intestinal lining are the site of terminal carbohydrate digestions. The microvilli that constitute the brush border have enzymes for this final part of digestion anchored into their ...
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 ...
Breast-fed infants with diarrhea often choose to breastfeed more, and should be encouraged to do so. [20] In young children who are not breast-fed and live in the developed world, a lactose-free diet may be useful to speed recovery. [105] Eating food containing soluble fibre may help, but insoluble fibre might make it worse. [106]
Possible complications associated with toddler's diarrhea include malabsorption and dehydration. [6] Malabsorption affects the small intestine and results in the impaired absorption of important nutrients from an infant or child's diet, leading to malnutrition. Malabsorption is indicated by symptoms of bloating, appetite changes, weight loss ...
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.
Brachyspira pilosicoli is a gram-negative, anaerobic, host-associated spirochete that colonizes the intestinal tract of animals and humans. [2] [3] It appears as a characteristic "false brush border" due to its end-on attachment to enterocytes of the colon where it interferes with intestinal absorption. [4]
Polysaccharidases and disaccharidases in the glycocalyx break down large sugar molecules, which are then absorbed. Glucose crosses the apical membrane of the enterocyte using the sodium-glucose cotransporter. It moves through the cytosol (cytoplasm) and exits the enterocyte via the basolateral membrane (into the blood capillary) using GLUT2.
