Capillary permeability
property of blood capillary walls that allows for the selective exchange of substances. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE), ultrathin gels, new gel matrices, enhanced detection. Application of higher electric fields in electrophoretic separation of DNA fragments can increase sequencing speed and efficiency.
capillary bed A branching network of capillaries supplied by arterioles and drained by venules.
capillary
(kap-ill-air-ee) [L. capillaris, relating to hair]
A microscopic blood vessel that penetrates the tissues and consists of a single layer of endothelial cells that allows exchange between the blood and interstitial fluid.

capillary pores Small spaces in the soil that become filled with a fluid (such as water) because of the adhesion of particles to the matrix (solid substrate) and the cohesion of the water molecules to themselves.
capitate caput = head; ate = like.
The capillary beds of most tissues drain into veins that lead directly back to the heart. But blood draining the intestines is an exception. The veins draining the intestine lead to a second set of capillary beds in the liver.

The lymphatic capillary plexuses vary greatly in form; the anastomoses are usually numerous; blind ends or cul-de-sacs are especially common in the intestinal villi, the dermal papillæ and the filiform papillæ of the tongue.
Blood leaving the capillary beds flows into a progressively larger series of venules that in turn join to form veins. Veins carry blood from capillaries to the heart. With the exception of the pulmonary veins, blood in veins is oxygen-poor.
Northern analysis -- a technique for transferring electrophoretically resolved RNA segments from an agarose gel to a nitrocellulose filter paper sheet via capillary action.
The whole basis by which the human genome was done is by something called capillary electrophoresis, by separating DNA into shorter pieces and then running them on these electrophoresis gels which allow the patterns of As, Cs, Ts, ...
In mammals, which are similar to other complex vertebrates, the renal artery branches into smaller vessels and finally into a capillary tuft called the glomerulus at the entry to each nephron.
All living tissues are amply supplied with capillary vessels, which bring nutrients and oxygen to every cell. As tumors enlarge, the cells in the center no longer receive nutrients from the normal blood vessels.
By carefully heating and pulling a small glass or quartz capillary tube, a very fine pipet can be formed.
The DNA is first transferred from the gel to a membrane by capillary action. Fluid wicks from the gel through the blotting membrane to several layers of absorbent paper, but the nucleic acids stick to the membrane.

Microinjection. A means to introduce a solution of DNA, protein, or other soluble material into a cell using a fine microcapillary pipet.
Mitosis. The replication of a cell to form two daughter cells with identical sets of chromosomes.
The aqueous solution passes from the agarose gel through the membrane into the absorbant paper by capillary action. The DNA moves with the aqueous solution but becomes trapped on the membrane.
In mammals the paired lungs are each supplied by a bronchus that divides, treelike, into bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in an atrium from which arise numerous alveoli that contact a vast capillary system.
Following the PCR reaction, internal DNA length standards are added to the reaction mixture and the DNAs are separated by length in a capillary gel electrophoresis machine. As DNA peaks elute from the gel they are detected with laser activation.
