Description

Figures 446 (upper) and 447 (lower) from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Microvilli of the brush border of cat intestinal epithelium show longitudinal (upper) and transverse (lower) section through the core of microvilli, and the organization of the actin microfilaments within. Micrographs by Susumu Ito. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
