Question

Which describes the correct location of stem cells and enterocytes of the small intestine?​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stem cells and enterocytes are found in the crypts between the villi of the small intestine. The folds of Keckring (A) are actually circular folds of mucosa and submucosa that increase the surface area of the small intestine. Enterocytes are not found on the outside of the villi (B) or on the surface of the brush border (C). Microvilli (E) are tiny projections on the surface of enterocytes, not actual locations within the small intestine.
