Capillary
Definition:
(a.) Resembling a hair; fine; minute; very slender; having minute tubes or interspaces; having very small bore; as, the capillary vessels of animals and plants.
(a.) Pertaining to capillary tubes or vessels; as, capillary action.
(n.) A tube or vessel, extremely fine or minute.
(n.) A minute, thin-walled vessel; particularly one of the smallest blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, but used also for the smallest lymphatic and biliary vessels.
