capillaries, plural;
  1. Of or relating to capillaries or capillarity

Noun
  1. Any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules

  2. A tube that has an internal diameter of hairlike thinness

  1. a tube of small internal diameter; holds liquid by capillary action
  2. of or relating to hair
  3. any of the minute blood vessels connecting arterioles with venules
  4. Capillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels and are part of the microcirculation. They are only 1 cell thick. ...
  5. Any of the small blood vessels that connect arteries to veins. Their walls are composed of a single layer of cells which allows molecules such as oxygen, water and lipids to pass through them by diffusion and enter the tissues. ...
  6. (Capillaries) the smallest vessels of the circulatory system, responsible for delivering oxygen to tissues.
  7. (Capillaries) tiny blood vessels that come into close contact with the body cells to supply the cells with oxygen and nutrients, and to remove waster products.
  8. (capillaries) feed cells, take away waste, and connect the arterial & venous systems
  9. (capillaries) tiny blood vessels between arteries and veins that distribute oxygen-rich blood to the body
  10. (CAPILLARIES) distribute the nutrients and oxygen to the body's tissues and remove deoxygenated blood and waste. They are extremely thin, the walls are only one cell thick and connect the arterioles with the venules (very small veins).
  11. (Capillaries) Billions of tiny blood vessels in the brain that carry oxygen, glucose (the brain's principal source of energy), nutrients, and hormones like insulin to brain cells so they can do their work, and remove carbon dioxide and cell waste products.
  12. (Capillaries) Small blood channels that are the endpoints at which blood/nutrient exchange takes place.
  13. (Capillaries) are a mesh-like network of tiny blood vessels that help transport oxygen into the bloodstream.
  14. (Capillaries) tiny hair-like blood vessels, some of which carry nutrient to the hair growth matrix.
  15. (capillaries) à site of chemical exchange between interstitial fluid and blood
  16. the action by which the surface of a liquid (where it is in contact with a solid) is elevated or depressed, depending upon the relative attraction of the molecules of the liquid for each other and for those of the solid.
  17. The smallest of the body's blood vessels. Oxygen and glucose pass through capillary walls and enter the cells. Waste products such as carbon dioxide pass back from the cells into the blood through capillaries.
  18. a tiny blood vessel that connects an artery to a vein
  19. The smallest type of blood vessel in the body. Spider veins, for instance, are actually small capillaries commonly found on the face or legs.
  20. Microscopic blood vessels where the gas exchange takes place between the bloodstream and the tissues or the air in the lungs.
  21. Any of the minute vessels connecting the arterioles and venules, forming a network in nearly all parts of the body. Their walls act as semi-permeable membranes for the interchange of various substances, including fluids, between the blood and tissue.
  22. the smallest blood vessel (5-20 micrometres in diameter). It has a wall only one cell thick, so oxygen, carbon dioxide, salts etc. can be exchanged between the blood and body tissue.
  23. A tube with a very small bore used for temperature gauges
  24. Latin capillaris = hair-like, hence a very thin blood vessel.
  25. In cement paste, any space not occupied by anhydrous cement or cement gel. Air bubbles, whether entrained or entrapped, are not considered as part of the cement paste.
