Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microvilli are tiny, finger-like projections on the surface of cells that increase surface area for absorption or secretion. In the case of kidney tubules, microvilli help to increase the surface area available for the reabsorption of water and other substances from the urine. Flagella and cilia are not typically found in kidney tubules.
