Question

Epithelial cells of the small intestine have finger-like membrane extensions, known as microvilli, that are supported by the actin cytoskeleton. Microvilli located at surface of intestinal epithelial cells are responsible for: Lumen of the Small Intestine Outside cells: [Low Glucose] [Low Amino Acid] [High Na] Inside cells: [High Glucose] [High Amino Acid] [Low Na] Nucleus ER Golgi Microtubules Nucleus Nucleus Blood vessel Na/K Pump Na/Glucose Co-Transporter Glucose Carrier Na+/AA Co-Transporter Amino Acid Carrier
