Microvilli-Uterus

Many epithelial cells form processes, name d microvilli , at their free surfaces.  These processes are finger-shaped; they are about 100 nm thick and of various lengths. The structure of microvilli is static and without any particular organization. However, protrusions from the plasmalemma increase the cell surface area. Scanning electron microscopy provides a method of examining the outer elements of the tissue surface in detail.  This figure offers a view of the surface of the uterine cavum epithelium. The cells are either polygonal or round and covered with short stub-like microvilli. The image is that of small patches of lawn. The dark lines between the cells are cell borders. In the lower right part of the figure are two erythrocytes.
