A capillary is a tiny blood vessel that allows for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. Capillaries are the smallest and most numerous blood vessels in the body, with a diameter similar to that of a single red blood cell.

What happened to the water on the dishes when you dry them using a tea towel?

It's absorbed by capilliary action into the weave of the fabic, and into the threads from which that's woven. When you hang the towel up afterwards, the water then evaporates from the towel.

Oxygen diffuses from the alveolus into the blood capillary due to the concentration gradient - from high to low concentration. This process allows oxygen to enter the bloodstream and be transported to the body's tissues for utilization.

How does a candle's flame work?

A candle flame is produced by the combustion of the wax vaporizing and reacting with oxygen in the air. The heat from the flame melts the wax, creating more vapor to sustain the combustion. The blue part of the flame is the hottest region, while the yellow part is cooler due to incomplete combustion.


The smallest blood vessel?

The smallest arteries of the human body are the arterioles, which supply blood into the capillary network from the main arteries (artery-->arteriole-->capillary-->venule-->vein). They hold plasma and filtrates, and are usually only wide enough to hold a single red blood cell at a time (in some cases, they are smaller than a RBC).
