In chemistry... it's a thin open-ended glass tube for collecting small amounts of liquid. Inserting one end of the tube into liquid allows the liquid to flow upqwards. When the liquid reaches a suitable height, a finger placed over the open end (towards the top) holds the liquid in the tube - for transferring from one place to another.

How many type of capillary tube?
There are primarily three types of capillary tubes: open capillary tubes, closed capillary tubes, and capillary tubes with a tapered end. Open capillary tubes are used in applications such as blood sampling, while closed capillary tubes are often employed in thermometers or pressure measurement. Tapered capillary tubes facilitate fluid movement and can enhance the flow rate. Each type serves specific functions based on the requirements of the application.
What it the definition of capillary motion?
Capillary motion is a movement of liquids in small tubes. This motion can be also ascensional.
What is the basic use of capillary tube?
Capillary tubes are renowned for their capillary action on liquids, i.e. they cause liquids to rise up inside them. Capillary tubes are the essence of thermometers that use a liquid indicator. In biology and the plant world, capillary tubes are fundamental to the movement of fluids through the systems of living organisms.
What is the advantage of using a plastic capillary tube when collecting blood?
Plastic capillary tubes are advantageous because they are disposable, reducing the risk of contamination between samples. They are also less fragile compared to glass capillary tubes, reducing the risk of breakage during sample collection and handling. Additionally, plastic capillary tubes are more cost-effective and easier to dispose of after use.
What we called the tendency of liquid molecules to rise spontaneously up tubes with narrow diameters?
That is capillary attraction.
How would you use capillary in a sentence?
The liquid was pulled into the small tube by capillary action.
Vascular plants what causes the water to go up the tubes?
Capillary Action
What test are performed from blood collected in capillary tubes?
complete blood count
What is the correct order of draw with capillary specimens?
lavender top . tubes with other additives. tubes without additives
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
Is a capilary hollow?
A capillary is hollow. It is the smallest of the blood vessels, the tubes that carry blood.
What is the tendency of water molecules to move up tiny tubes called?
Capillary action.
