Best Answer

A capilliary is a piece of hard blood in your vains that helps your circulation flow. It decreases the risk of high blood pressure, and increases your overall health. Capillaries are a good thing for you and your body, and I, personally do not suggest having them removed!

^^^ This answer is wrong in every salient way.

It's absorbed by capilliary action into the weave of the fabic, and into the threads from which that's woven. When you hang the towel up afterwards, the water then evaporates from the towel.

The smallest blood vessel?

The smallest arteries of the human body are the arterioles, which supply blood into the capillary network from the main arteries (artery-->arteriole-->capillary-->venule-->vein). They hold plasma and filtrates, and are usually only wide enough to hold a single red blood cell at a time (in some cases, they are smaller than a RBC).


Is acrylic fabric on garden bench cushions waterproof?

Yes, but only up to a point. Acrylic fabric is normally waterproof to water being splashed onto it, but like most 'waterproof' fabric, there will be a "capilliary" action that leads to water soaking through if it is left on a wet surface. Basically, the water gets drawn up into the fabric by a wicking process (this is why you can sometimes get soaked in a downpour if you are wearing a single layer anorak or raincoat, rather than a dual layer coat which has a lining).You can get around this by either using 2 layers of waterproof fabric, or by purchasing a specialist fabric designed for that use (Just Google "waterproof garden fabric" or similar to find such fabrics).
