Microvilli are most often found in the small intestine, on the surface of egg cells, as well as on white blood cells. In the intestine, they work in conjunction with villi to absorb more nutrients and more material because they expand the surface area of the intestine.
Microscopic hairlike projections above the surface of specialised epithelial cells, which are composed of complex plasma membrane folds surrounding an actin microfilament core. Microvilli greatly increase total cell surface, and therefore also the absorptive capacity of cell.-vilâ²Ä«]. Etymology: Gk, mikros, small; L, villus, shaggy hair. tiny hairlike folds in the plasma membrane that extend from the surface of many absorptive or secretory cells.
