brush border The collection of microvilli forming a border on the intestinal side of the epithelial cells of the small intestine.
Destroy brush border of microvilli
Host creates a ruffled surface / Invaded cells detach from intestinal wall, creating inflamed lesions / Secretion of large amounts of watery fluid into the lumen of the gut → diarrhoea ...
Each villus has a surface that is adjacent to the inside of the small intestinal opening covered in microvilli that form on top of an epithelial cell known as a brush border. Each villus has a capillary network supplied by a small arteriole.
microvillus Narrow, cylindrical cytoplasmic projection from epithelial cells; microvilli form the brush border of several types of epithelial cells.
Kidney glomerulus parietal cell
Kidney glomerulus podocyte
Kidney proximal tubule brush border cell
Loop of Henle thin segment cell
Thick ascending limb cell
Kidney distal tubule cell
Kidney collecting duct cell ...
In addition, the apical (exposed) surface of the epithelial cells of each villus is covered with microvilli (also known as a "brush border").
