A Capilliary Viscometer measures the speed at which a lquid can be forced through a narrow tube (a capillary). Thicker liquids (high viscosity like treacle) will take a lot longer to squeeze through the tube than a thin liquid (like white spirit). If you take a fluid (liquid) like blood it could be put through a Viscometer like this to see if your blood was too thick or thin. Also it could be used to check if your engine oil met up to spec.

Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of a meter.) Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
the smallest blood vessels in the body branched off from arteries.
A capilary is a small artery.
continuous capillaries continuous capillaries
Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
Capillaries The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
Arteries "feed" the capillaries while veins drain the capillaries.
plmonary veins begin as capillaries and end as capillaries
Sinusoidal Capillaries
The thin walled blood vessels are called capillaries.
continuous capillaries
capillaries.
The smallest blood vessels are the capillaries.
Capillaries connect small arteries to small veins. Capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
The branches from arteries are arterioles and then into capillaries.
