Question

Which of the following forms the content of the space indicated by the black asterisk?

Choose from the following:

This electron micrograph shows the ultrastructure of microvilli on the surface of an epithelial cell. The microvilli are finger-like projections that extend from the cell membrane, significantly increasing the surface area for absorption. The dark star symbol (*) highlights one of the numerous microvilli protruding from the cell. The lighter areas surrounding the microvilli represent extracellular space, while the denser, darker regions within the microvilli indicate the presence of actin filaments, which provide structural support. This increased surface area is crucial in cells involved in absorption, such as those lining the intestine.
