title: [Surface forces as the causative mechanism of epithelial tissue].
abstract: It is shown that surface forces are responsible for the shift of cells without order from the interior of a cell accumulation to the periphery surface to erect epithelia or epithalium-like cell aggregations. As a model, the boundary of a blood film is figured showing the epithelium-like ordered erythrocytes of the outermost layer.
