Enterocytes. Enterocyte . Absorptive cells in the lining of the INTESTINAL MUCOSA. They are differentiated EPITHELIAL CELLS with apical MICROVILLI facing the intestinal lumen. Enterocytes are more abundant in the SMALL INTESTINE than in the LARGE INTESTINE. Their microvilli greatly increase the luminal surface area of the cell by 14- to 40 fold. . 1.00
Oesophagostomum. Oesophagostomums . A genus of nematodes of the superfamily STRONGYLOIDEA, parasitic in the intestines of animals. The adults are usually free in the intestinal lumen; the larvae encyst in the wall. . 0.48
CDX2 Transcription Factor. CDX2 Protein . Caudal Type Homeo Box 2 Protein . Caudal Type Homeo Box Transcription Factor 2 . Caudal Type Homeobox Transcription Factor 2 . Cdx-2 Protein . Cdx-2-3 Protein . Cdx-3 Protein . Homeobox Protein CDX-2 . Homeobox Protein CDX2 . Transcription Factor CDX2 . CDX-2, Homeobox Protein . CDX2, Homeobox Protein . CDX2, Transcription Factor . Cdx 2 3 Protein . Cdx 2 Protein . Cdx 3 Protein . Homeobox Protein CDX 2 . An antennapedia-like homeodomain transcription factor that regulates the expression of multiple genes in the INTESTINAL MUCOSA. It plays a critical role in many processes from early differentiation to maintenance of the intestinal epithelial lining of both the small and large intestine. . 0.47
Intestinal Mucosa. Intestinal Glands . Epithelium, Intestinal . Gland, Intestinal . Glands, Intestinal . Intestinal Gland . Mucosa, Intestinal . Intestinal Epithelium . Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI. . 0.46
Intestinal Volvulus. Volvulus . Volvulus, Intestine . Volvulus, Intestinal . A twisting in the intestine (INTESTINES) that can cause INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION. . 0.42
Intestines. Intestine . The section of the alimentary canal from the STOMACH to the ANAL CANAL. It includes the LARGE INTESTINE and SMALL INTESTINE. . 0.41
