microvillus [GO_0005902]

Thin cylindrical membrane-covered projections on the surface of an animal cell containing a core bundle of actin filaments. Present in especially large numbers on the absorptive surface of intestinal cells. Note that this term refers to a projection from a single cell, and should not be confused with ‘microvillus’ as used to refer to a multicellular structure such as that found in the placenta.
