Microvilli (plural of microvillus) These are small finger like projections, about 1mm in length, and 90nm or so in diameter. The microvilli are shorter and narrower than cilia. They contain bundles of parallel actin filaments held together into a bundle by cross-linking proteins called villin and fimbrin.
