Question
all the following statements
which relate to apical surface
modifications(brush border) of
epithelial cells are true except. *
these are anchored in a dense
mat of microfilaments in the
apical cytoplasm called the
terminal, lateral web.
The apical surface of cells in
intestine is usually covered with
microvilli.
the microfilaments can contract,
By interacting with cytoplasmic
myosin, then caused the
shortening of the microvilli.
cores of microvilli are composed
of parallel actin microfilaments.
