Detail of the intestinal villi (surrounded by
the
intestinal lumen (yellow)
observed with the objective of 100x. We can
observe the simple prismatic
epithelium
in each villus, whose cells contain an oval
nucleus and an apical pole (in contact with the
lumen) provided with
microvilli.
Among the epithelial cells appear other
secretory ones or
goblet
cells.
The interior of each villus is occupied by
conjunctive
tissue containing abundant blood and lymphatic
vessels
