11. The apical plasma membrane projects microvilli to give an increased surface area for secretion. 12. These cells interweave with each other, and project microvilli into the intercellular space. 13. The stomach and intestine are lined with microvilli , which are thought to absorb nutrients. 14. They are about 10 50 micrometers in length and share some similar features of microvilli . 15. In the protostomes, they are microvilli : extensions or protrusions of the cellular membrane. 16. Like microvilli , they contain actin filaments, distinguishing them from microtubule-containing cilia. 17. The surface is profusely covered with microvilli . 18. The differences in the three types of cells, digestive, regenerative, and microvilli . 19. E . coli bacteria coax the cell into shedding its own outer filaments, called microvilli . 20. Based on their appearance, groups of these microvilli are known collectively as the brush border.
