The cells lining the proximal tubules of the nephrons have a highly folded cell membrane on the lumen side of the tubule made of microvilli. This is referred to as a brush border and is important in increasing the surface area for reabsorption of components of the filtrate as it passes down the nephron.

The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
Why is pectoralis muscle bigger than supracoracoideus?
this is because the pectoralis draws the wings down and a large surface area is requied to do so due to air resistance hence its large size meanwhile,the supracoracoideus only draws the wings up by attatching itself to the humerus and since a large since no surface area is needed it has a small size.

Why do radiators have a large surface area?
They have a large surface area so there is enough area for heat radiation.
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
Which will dissolve faster a substance with little surface area or the one with a large surface area?
One with a large surface area because the solvent will be able to dissolve more solute simultaneously.
Do stilts have a large surface area?

What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
What stars are cool and bright stars?
To be bright you need to be hot, close or have a large surface area. The brightest coolest stars are red super giants. They have such a large surface area, that even though their surface temperature is cool - in star terms - their large surface area makes them appear bright.
Are roots adapted to take in water because they have a small surface area?
No.Plant roots have large surface area,roots have root hairs to increase the surface area so that large amounts of water can be absorbed easily.
Why is it important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area?
It is important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area because it helps the crayfish to breathe. The bigger the surface area, the more oxygen in the crayfishes system.Ê
What is the function of micro villi in the kidney?
To increase the surface area of the tubule. It creates a larger surface area for re-absorption to occur, and thus more diffusion can occur at once.
What form the large surface area of the small intestine?
The villi on the inner surface.
