What structures are fingerlike projections that greatly increase absorbing surface of cells?

Answer 1

They are called villus (singular), and villi (plural) or microvilli.
they are called villi

hope this helped
The finger-like projections that line the small intestine is called the villi.

Answer 2

Microvilli are fingerlike projections on the surface of cells that greatly increase their surface area for absorption of nutrients and other substances. They are commonly found in cells of the small intestine and kidney.

Answer 3

Microvilli, brush border, cilia or transverse (T) tubules.

-----------------------------------------

One major, major bio rule is that surface area is everything. The more surface area you have, the more you can absorb at one time. This is particularly important in areas of the body where absorption is the function--such as the intestines.

In various places in the body, cells are lined with microvilli, the small, finger-like projections of the plasma membrane. These greatly increase the surface area of the cell, because each of the folds gives a ton more area than a flat surface would have. Most plasma surface area allow more area for molecules to diffuse through, or to put channel proteins.

Villi, or even stereocilia

Villi in the small intestine
