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. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a cell surface projection. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a stereocilium. Any constituent part of the plasma membrane, the membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a microvillus. A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon.
