What is a very small artery that delivers blood to the capillaries?
The blood vessel that only allows one corpuscle to go through at a time is called a capillary.
Very small tube that carrys blood?
Capillary: these tiny blood vessels facilitate the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the blood and tissues. Their small size allows for efficient nutrient and gas exchange due to their proximity to body cells.
Which process describes the pushing of water across the capillary (blood vessel) membrane?
The process that describes the pushing of water across the capillary membrane is called filtration. Filtration occurs due to the pressure difference between the blood inside the capillary (hydrostatic pressure) and the surrounding tissue (osmotic pressure). This pressure gradient forces water and small solutes to move out of the capillary into the surrounding tissue.
What is capillary exchange?
Capillary exchange refers to the process by which substances such as oxygen, nutrients, and waste products are exchanged between blood and tissues at the capillary level. This exchange occurs through various mechanisms including diffusion, filtration, and osmosis, facilitated by the thin walls and small diameter of capillaries. It is essential for maintaining proper functioning of cells and tissues in the body.
What is capillary puncture?
Capillary puncture is a medical procedure where a small needle is used to collect a small amount of blood from the capillaries, typically in the finger or heel. This method is commonly used for blood glucose monitoring, hemoglobin testing, and other diagnostic tests where a small blood sample is sufficient.
Small vessel that connects veins and arteries?
That would be the capillary
What is the prefix for Capillary?

What it the definition of capillary motion?

Is alcohol absorbed in the small intestine?
Yes, alcohol is primarily absorbed in the small intestine. The majority of alcohol is absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, where it then travels to various organs in the body.
Why do sponges absorb water?
There are millions of tiny pockets in the sponge that air empty; those pockets act as a greenhouse, letting heat in, but not letting heat out, except for a sponge, it's water. Those pockets get filled with water.
What is the tendency of a liquid to rise in a small diameter tube called?
The 'capillary effect'. See the link.
What is a canillaries?
Do you mean capillary? If so, a capillary is an extremely small blood vessel located within the tissues of the body.
How would you use capillary in a sentence?
The liquid was pulled into the small tube by capillary action.
What makes paper towels absorbent?
Little air pockets or air cavities in the towel hold the water until squeezed out. All the little microfibers in them make them super strong and absorbent also the sponge pockets make them absorbent.
Capillary beds are supplied by and drained by?
Im not sure what supplies them but im positive there drained by venules. Capillary beds are drained by small veins called venules, and are supplied by small arteries called arterioles.
What name is given to a tube of very small diameter?
capillary
What Small pockets that make up the lungs?
alveoli
