Stereociliated cells

This term often refers to cells bearing stereocilia, which are long, non-motile microvillus-like projections that increase surface area. True stereocilia are found on sensory hair cells in the inner ear for mechanotransduction. Cells in the epididymis and ductus deferens also have long, immotile structures called stereocilia (though structurally more like giant microvilli) involved in absorption and secretion.
