Surface Area

The total area that the surface of an object occupies, which is important in various biological and chemical processes.

Volume Ratio

A comparative measure of the volume proportions of different substances or components within a mixture or object.

Finger-Like Projections

Extensions of tissues or cells resembling fingers, often used to increase surface area for absorption or sensing, like villi in the intestine.
