capillary (kăp`əlĕr'ē), microscopic blood vessel, smallest unit of the circulatory systemcirculatory system,
group of organs that transport blood and the substances it carries to and from all parts of the body. The circulatory system can be considered as composed of two parts: the systemic circulation, which serves the body as a whole except for the lungs, and the

blood vessel that conveys blood away from the heart. Except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues.

blood vessel that returns blood to the heart. Except for the pulmonary vein, which carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, veins carry deoxygenated blood. The oxygen-depleted blood passes from the capillaries to the venules (small veins).

Through the thin capillary walls, which are composed of a single layer of cells, the nutritive material and oxygen in the blood pass into the body tissues, and waste matter and carbon dioxide in turn are absorbed from the tissues into the bloodstream.capillary[′kap·ə‚ler·ē] (anatomy) The smallest vessel of both the circulatory and lymphatic systems; the walls are composed of a single cell layer. (geology) A fissure or a crack in a formation which provides a route for flow of water or hydrocarbons. capillary1. (of tubes) having a fine bore 2.

capillary [kap´ĭ-lar″e] 1. pertaining to or resembling a hair.2. in the circulatory system," >circulatory system, one of the minute vessels connecting arterioles and venules, the walls of which act as a semipermeable membrane for interchange of various substances between the blood and tissue fluid. Capillary walls consist of thin endothelial cells through which body fluids and dissolved substances can pass. At the arterial end, the blood pressure within the capillary is higher than the pressure in the surrounding tissues, and the blood fluid and some dissolved substances pass outward through the capillary wall. At the venous end, the pressure within the tissues is higher and waste material and fluids from the tissues pass into the capillary, to be carried away for disposal. Capillary. From Applegate, 2000.arterial capillary a vessel lacking complete coats, intermediate between an arteriole and a capillary. Called also precapillary.venous capillary a type of minute vessel that lacks a muscular coat and is intermediate between a venule and a capillary. Called also postcapillary.cap·il·lar·y (kap'i-lār-ē), [TA] 1. Resembling a hair; fine; minute. 2. A capillary vessel; for example, blood capillary, lymph capillary.

A tube with a very small internal diameter.capillary Any of the microscopic blood vessels that connect minute arterioles and equally minute venules. Capillaries form a network throughout the body and are the functional unit of general circulation. Capillary walls are semipermeable and allow passage of O2, glucose and other nutrients from the blood into the cells, and waste products (CO2, NH3) into the blood to be excreted or eliminated through the lungs.cap·il·lar·y (kap'i-lar-ē) [TA] 1. Resembling a hair; fine; minute. 2. A capillary vessel; e.g., blood capillary, lymph capillary. 3. Relating to a blood or lymphatic capillary vessel. [L. capillaris, relating to hair]capillary (kap′ĭ-ler″ē) plural.capillaries [L. capillaris, hairlike] 1. Any of the minute blood vessels, averaging 0.008 mm in diameter, that connect the ends of the smallest arteries (arterioles) with the beginnings of the smallest veins (venules). 2. Pert. to a hair; hairlike. arterial capillaryOne of the very small vessels that are the terminal branches of the arterioles or metarterioles.bile capillaryOne of the intercellular biliary passageways that convey bile from liver cells to the interlobular bile ducts. Also called bile canaliculus. blood capillaryOne of the minute blood vessels that convey blood from the arterioles to the venules and form an anastomosing network that brings the blood into intimate relationship with the tissue cells. Its wall consists of a single layer of squamous cells (endothelium) through which oxygen diffuses to the tissue and products of metabolic activity enter the bloodstream. Blood capillaries average about 8 μm in diameter.  LYMPHATIC CAPILLARYlymphatic capillaryA thin-walled lymphatic vessel at the beginning of a branch of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic capillaries have closed ends, but have no basement membranes and are more permeable than blood capillaries. Fluids, salts, proteins, large molecules, particles, debris, microorganisms, and migrating cells can pass from the interstitial spaces into lymphatic capillaries. Lymphatic capillaries lead to larger lymphatics that transport the lymph to lymph nodes. See: illustrationsecretory capillaryAny of the very small canaliculi that are part of the secretory outflow path receiving secretion discharged from gland cells.venous capillaryOne of the minute vessels that convey blood from a capillary network into the small veins (venules). capillary The smallest and most numerous of all the blood vessels. Capillaries form dense networks between the arteries and the veins, and it is only in the capillary beds that interchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nutrients can take place with the cells. Fig. 88 Capillary . Exchange route of materials between blood and tissues. Fig. 87 Capillary . The structure of a capillary vessel. capillary one of many minute blood vessels (5–20 μm diameter) which connect ARTERIOLES and VENULES in vertebrate tissues allowing a high level of exchange of materials to take place between blood and tissues via the interstitial fluid or LYMPH. See Fig. 87 . Capillary walls are made up of a single layer of epithelial cells which are flexible, allowing changes in diameter with changing blood pressure. See Fig. 88 . Capillaries are efficient because - they are thin-walled, with narrow diameters giving a high surface-area-to-volume ratio,
- they are very numerous, forming a CAPILLARY BED, and
- blood flow is slow, allowing maximum time for exchange.
CapillaryThe tiniest blood vessels with the smallest diameter. These vessels receive blood from the arterioles and deliver blood to the venules.Mentioned in: Preeclampsia and Eclampsiacap·il·lar·y (kap'i-lar-ē) [TA] 1. Resembling a hair; fine; minute. 2.
