Some common surface features observed in histology include:
Microvilli: Finger-like projections that increase the surface area for absorption, commonly found in the small intestine. Cilia: Hair-like structures that help in movement and are found in the respiratory tract. Basement Membrane: A thin layer that separates epithelial cells from underlying connective tissue. Glycocalyx: A fuzzy coat on the surface of some cells, important for cell recognition and protection. Desmosomes: Specialized structures that provide mechanical strength by anchoring cells to each other.
