The apical surface is considered a free surface because it is exposed to the external environment or a body cavity without being in direct contact with neighboring cells. This allows for functions like absorption, secretion, and sensory reception to occur at this surface.
An epithelium always has on surface where the cells are exposed either to the external environment or to an internal passageway or cavity; this surface is called the free surface of the epithelium.
Free surface in stability refers to the unconfined surface of a liquid on board a vessel that can cause instability. When a vessel rolls or pitches, the liquid's inertia can lead to shifting, creating a destabilizing effect. To prevent this, it is important to minimize free surface by properly securing liquid cargoes and maintaining proper vessel stability.
Free fall acceleration can be considered constant near Earth's surface because the gravitational force acting on an object is primarily determined by the mass of the Earth and the distance from its center. Within a few hundred miles of Earth's surface, these factors do not vary significantly, resulting in a consistent acceleration due to gravity of approximately 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, objects in free fall experience a nearly constant acceleration regardless of their mass or size.
To correct free surface effects in computational fluid dynamics simulations, methods such as volume of fluid (VOF) or level-set methods can be used to capture the interface between fluids accurately. Implementing these methods can help to improve the representation of free surface behavior in simulations and reduce errors associated with surface tension effects. Additionally, refining the mesh near the free surface and adjusting numerical parameters like time step size can also help improve the accuracy of the simulation results.
A jet drive is not considered a surface drive. A surface drive uses a propeller that operates partially above the water surface, providing high speed and efficiency. In contrast, a jet drive uses a water pump to propel water out of the back of the vessel, making it ideal for shallow water navigation.

Apical Border is the side of an epithelial cell that faces the lumen.
Yes, cilia are present on the apical surface of some cells. They serve various functions, such as moving substances along the cell surface or sensing the environment.
Epithelial tissue lines body surfaces and cavities as have apical and basement sides.
Yes, epithelia have an apical surface facing the external environment or a body cavity and a basal surface attached to underlying connective tissue. These surfaces are important for cell polarity and function in processes such as absorption, secretion, and barrier formation.

Transitional epithelium has dome-shaped cells on its apical surface. It is a specialized type of epithelium found in organs that stretch, like the urinary bladder, and can transition between squamous and cuboidal shapes as the organ expands and contracts.
Yes, epithelial tissues typically exhibit polarity, with distinct apical and basal surfaces. The apical surface faces the external environment or a body cavity, while the basal surface is anchored to a basement membrane. This polarity allows for the specialized functions of epithelial cells, such as secretion and absorption.
This describes the simple columnar epithelium tissue. In this tissue, all cells are attached to the basement membrane, but not all cells reach the free surface, as some may be buried below the apical surface of the tissue layer.
