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.
What else can I help you with?

this is funny cause i took an online test with this question
What is the surface area is the sum of the areas of all the surfaces of a three dimensional object called?
The total surface area! The total surface area! The total surface area! The total 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.
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.
In a hydraulic device the surface area of the small piston is 20cm and the surface area of the piston is 80cm to lift a 400 N barrel placed on the large piston you must apply a force of?
796.2 N/m^2
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
Do stilts have a large surface area?
No
Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
Why does a small pin sink wheras a large boat does not?
Because a pin has a small surface area and a boat has a large surface area.
Name one organ in your body which has a large surface area?
The skin is an organ in the body that has a large surface area as it covers the entire external surface of the body.
Why is surface area important to the kidneys?
Surface area is crucial for the kidneys because it maximizes the efficiency of filtration and reabsorption processes. The extensive network of nephrons, each with a large surface area, allows for the effective removal of waste products and excess substances from the blood. A larger surface area also facilitates greater interaction between the filtrate and the renal tubules, enhancing the reabsorption of essential nutrients and electrolytes. Thus, adequate surface area is vital for maintaining homeostasis and overall kidney function.
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.
Why do radiators have a large surface area?
Radiators have a large surface area to increase heat transfer efficiency. The greater surface area allows for more contact between the hot water or steam inside the radiator and the surrounding air, resulting in more effective heat dissipation into the room.
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
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.
What form the large surface area of the small intestine?
The villi on the inner surface.
