Descriptor enterocitos
Scope note: Células absortivas del revestimiento de la MUCOSA INTESTINAL. Se trata de CÉLULAS EPITELIALES diferenciadas, con MICROVELLOSIDADES en el polo apical, orientadas hacia la luz intestinal. Los enterocitos son más abundantes en el INTESTINO DELGADO que en el INTESTINO GRUESO. Sus microvellosidades incrementan notablemente, entre 14 y 40 veces, el área de superficie de la célula en la luz intestinal.
