A major tenet of the cell theory is that all bodily structure and function result from the function of cells. Yet the structural properties of bone are due more to its extracellular material than to its cells. Is this an exception to the cell theory? Why or why not?

- all the following statements which relate to apical surface modifications(brush border) of epithelial cells are true except. * these are anchored in a dense mat of microfilaments in the apical cytoplasm called the terminal, lateral web. The apical surface of cells in intestine is usually covered with microvilli. the microfilaments can contract, By interacting with cytoplasmic myosin, then caused the shortening of the microvilli. cores of microvilli are composed of parallel actin microfilaments.arrow_forwardFibroblasts are motile cells that “creep” about in the connective tissue of the body where they play a number of roles, including secretion of the extracellular matrix and initiating certain wound healing events. These cells do not usually have microvilli nor do they express the actin-binding protein villin; both of these properties are characteristic of certain epithelial cells, such as those lining the intestine and kidneys. Remarkably enough, however, if one artificially engineers fibroblast cells to produce the villin protein, microvilli form on the fibroblasts. Given what you know about the function of villin, why might this striking change in cell morphology occur?arrow_forwardOn a molecular/cellular level, why do you think that it is important for there to be a distinction between apical and basolateral domains of epithelial cells?
