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.

this is funny cause i took an online test with this question
The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area!
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
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.
