External Email - Use Caution

I don't know the internal details for FreeSurfer, maybe others can help with those. But in general, the vertices and faces are constructed *together* from the (pre-processed) image voxels by algorithms like Marching Cubes:

There are many possibilities and options for mesh construction though, the relevant field is called Computer Graphics.

Dear FreeSurfer experts:

I have known the distance between two vertices different.

And are vertices detemined by triangles? Points where all triangles meet are vertices.

But how triangles are dividied on surface?
