Capsule (1) A dry dehiscent fruit with many seeds (sometimes with one seed), formed of two or several carpels. Capsules dehisce by means of a lid (plantain, henbane), tiny holes (poppy, bellflower), denticles on top of the capsule (primrose, pinks), or longitudinal splits (valves) along the septum (tobacco, hellebore) or along the valves (tulip, lily, hyacinth). (2) The spore-bearing part of the sporangium of mosses. These capsules are either cylindrical or spherical. capsule[′kap·səl] (aerospace engineering) A small, sealed, pressurized cabin with an internal environment that will support human or animal life during extremely high-altitude flight, space flight, or escape.

Chinese medicine
Jaio niang—A gelatin sheath filled with finely ground powder, which allows the optimal delivery of pungent or bitter herbs.
Microbiology
Microcapsule—A thick, gel-like material composed of highly hydrophilic acidic polysaccharide, which covers the wall of gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria and imparts a smooth appearance to colonies in culture; the capsule is linked to bacterial pathogenicity, as it inhibits phagocytosis.
Pathology
