A paper towel absorbing liquid is an example of capillary action.
The liquid was pulled into the small tube by capillary action.
That would be the capillary
If your referring to liquids going up the narrow tubes, than it can be called "Capillary action" or "capillarity". It occurs when the adhesive intermolecular forces between the liquid and a solid are stronger than the cohesive intermolecular forces withing the liquid. Otherwise, it would be "lift" and that just takes us to physics...
Due to surface tension of water the component T cos @ acting all along the circumference of the capillary tube 2 pi r would get added as 2 pi r T cos@. Here @ is the angle of contact of water with the material of the tube ie glass. Hence this uplifts the water to a height till its weight gets balanced by 2 pi r T cos@.
The arterial and capillary walls are incredibly strong. This is true otherwise you would be bleeding just by tapping yourself.
It would illustrate that reality is subjective.
It is because of the surface tension between liquid molecules and the inner surface of the tube. The meniscus height is determined by the inner diameter of the tube. The smaller the diameter, the higher the meniscus will climb due to capillary action.
No it wouldn't.

The content one would find when visiting the Kisss USA website is soil irrigation products. Basically the site explains to you the process in which their product helps irrigate the soil using capillary action which pumps water to the top.
Burns( which result in increased capillary permeability to plasma proteins)
