Intestinal epithelial cell with striated border

Intestinal epithelial cells with a striated border (epitheliocytus intestinalis cum limbo striato) are cells that are found in the small intestine and perform the function of absorbing nutrients from food. They have a characteristic striated border, which is the result of the presence of a large number of microvilli on the cell surface.

Microvilli are 1 to 2 micrometers in length and are thin projections that increase the surface area of ​​intestinal epithelial cells. Thanks to this, they can absorb nutrients from the intestinal contents and transfer them into the blood.

In addition, striated epithelial cells also play an important role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. They are involved in regulating the pH level in the intestines, as well as in the production of mucus, which protects the intestinal mucosa from damage and infection.

Striated epithelial cells are among the most important cells in the small intestine, and their function remains the subject of active research in the field of gastroenterology.

Intestinal striated epithelial cells are a group of specialized cells that are found on the surface of the intestine and perform important functions in maintaining the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These cells form a layer called intestinal mucosa and provide protection to the intestinal mucosa from damage and penetration of pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, epithelium
