peristalsis
Exocrine glands possess ducts that transport secretions onto epithelial surfaces.
A smoothing or rubbing stone is typically used for smoothing out rough edges or surfaces on materials such as metal, wood, or other hard surfaces. It can also be used for sanding or polishing to achieve a more refined finish on a variety of materials.
Surface processes on terrestrial planets can be influenced by erosion, weathering, volcanic activity, impact cratering, and tectonic activity. These processes can shape and modify the landscape over time, forming features such as mountains, valleys, canyons, and volcanoes. Erosion and weathering break down rocks and transport materials, while volcanic activity adds new material to the surface, leading to a continuously changing planetary landscape.
The type of epithelium that secretes its products into ducts opening onto surfaces is called glandular epithelium. This includes exocrine glands, which release their secretions through ducts to external surfaces or internal cavities, such as sweat glands, salivary glands, and the pancreas. These glands are characterized by their ability to produce substances like enzymes, sweat, or mucus that serve various functions in the body.
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
Exocrine glands possess ducts that transport secretions onto epithelial surfaces.
Absorptive surfaces are more likely to be found in organs like the small intestine, where nutrients are taken up into the bloodstream. Secretory surfaces are more common in organs like the salivary glands or pancreas, where substances are released into the body or digestive tract.
It can be passed through sneezes but also through contact of mucous secretions on surfaces.

Materials that do not reflect light well are known as non-reflective or absorptive materials. Some examples include black velvet, Vantablack (a material that absorbs almost all light), and black holes in space that absorb light due to their immense gravity.
Fingerprints are left behind when we touch things due to the sweat and oil secretions from our skin. As we touch surfaces, these secretions transfer onto the object, forming a unique pattern that we know as a fingerprint.
It is called abrasion when the surfaces of soiled materials scraps and grinds against each other. This process can lead to wear and tear of the materials involved.
The factors that determine the amount of friction between two surfaces include the roughness of the surfaces, the force pressing the surfaces together, and the types of materials involved. Friction increases with rougher surfaces, higher forces, and when the materials have a high coefficient of friction.
Surfaces that are dark in color, have a rough texture, and are made of materials that retain heat well can absorb heat effectively. Materials such as asphalt, concrete, and dark metal surfaces tend to absorb heat more readily compared to lighter colored surfaces or those with a smooth finish.

Materials with rough surfaces typically have higher friction. Examples include rubber, sandpaper, and asphalt. The amount of friction depends on the surface roughness, hardness, and the force pressing the surfaces together.
