Capillaries
The smallest vessels in the circulatory system that are located within the tissues of the body, they transfer blood from the arteries, through the tissues to drop of nutrients and pick up waste and back to the veins.

How many equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in SeF2O?
A single Lewis structure can be used to represent the bonding in SeF2O.
When the renal artery branches it and sends a knot of capillaries into what structure?
The Bowman's Capsule
When water rises from the soil by the roots of the plant. The capillary effect is done in a lot of things. Example: When water is obsorbed by the paper up the toilet paper tube.

Why a leakage in one capillary is less severe than a leakage in an atery?
A capillary is very small so a leak in it is not so dangerous but a leak in an artery will cause a huge loss of blood which is very serious.
Why is the velocity of blood flow the lowest in capillaries?
the total surface area of the capillaries is larger than the total surface area of the arterioles
The capillaries are where the gas and nutrient exchanges occur. Because in a closed circulation system the blood can't go outside the vessels, it must go to the capillary beds where it is about 1 cell thick to have diffusion. Alveoli in lungs are covered by capillaries to allow gas exchange to happen. The capillaries are most abundant of all the blood vessels, because most part of your body requires oxygen, and capillaries are where it can be given to cells.
Moisture held in tiny spaces between soil particles . It is principal source of moisture for a plant' root.
Why are there capillaries in eyelids instead of arteries or veins?
capillaries are smaller than arteries and veins. they need to be small or it would look wierd with big buldges sticking out of your eye lids. :P
What functions do capillaries and postcapillary venules share?
Small postcapillary venules consist entirely of endothelium just like capillaries (the larger venules have smooth muscle and thin externa as well). Also both capillaries and venules have no elastic tissues. Postcapillary venules are extremely porous which makes them more like capillaries then veins, and fluid and WBC's move easily into the bloodstream through these walls.

What type of capillaries are found in bone marrow?
Sinusoidal capillaries...these are wide leaky capillaries found in bone marrow
Can you live without capillaries?
A person can not live without capillaries. They help regulate body temperature, which is crucial to living. ~Charlotte~ =)
Why are capillaries thin walled?
Capillaries are one cell thin so that the red blood cells can easily exchange oxygen that they picked up in the lungs, with the bodies cells.
What are the applications of capillary action or capillarity?
Capillary action is also essential for the drainage of constantly produced tear fluid from the eye.
Paper towels absorb liquid through capillary action.
Chemists utilize capillary action in thin layer chromatography, in which a solvent moves vertically up a plate via capillary action. Dissolved solutes travel with the solvent at various speeds depending on their polarity.
With some pairs of materials, such as mercury and glass, the interatomic forces within the liquid exceed those between the solid and the liquid, so a convex meniscus forms and capillary action works in reverse.
How is the brain protected by bone membranes fluid and capillaries?
thebone membraneprotects the brain by using the blood brain barrier filters and other materials.cerebrospinal fluid containing the detoxification chemicals that helps to protect the brain.
The brain is protected by the skull (a bone structure), the blood brain barrier (BBB) filters the passage of harmful substances other other foreign materials,cerebrospinal fluid contains detoxification chemicals and helps cushion the brain, and there are 3 membranes that protect the brain called dura, arachnoid and pia mater.
Starlings Law of Capillaries states that?
Starling's law of the capillaries states that the net filtration = forces favouring filtration vs. forces opposing filtration. These forces include: Tonicity, Blod Hydrostatic Pressure (BHP), Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure (BCOP), Interstitial Fluid Hydrostatic Pressure (IFHP), Interstitial Fluid Colloidal Pressure (IFCOP) and membrane permeability. Therefore effective filtration pressure (and the application of Starling's Law of the Capillaries) is defined as such:
EFP=(BHP + IFCOP) - (IFHP + BCOP) Therefore: BHP + IFCOP moves fluid out of the capillaries and IFHP + BCOP moves fluid into capillaries
Slow blood flow within capillaries?
Slow blood flow in the capillaries helps increase the efficiency of diffusion. The thin capillary wall also helps with diffusion.
