capillary action- a phenomenon associated with surface tension and resulting in the elevation or depression of liquids in capillaries capillarity surface tension- a phenomenon at the surface of a liquid caused by intermolecular forces Based on WordNet 3.0, Farlex clipart collection. © 2003-2012 Pr...
Qualitative investigations suggest that capillary forces play a crucial role in determining the fibre conformation upon drying. To quantify this process, we theoretically and experimentally investigate deformation of a circular tube under capillary pressure. Fibre pit holes, which impose a significant ...

of vascular endothelial growth factor-B (VEGF-B) orplacental growth factor(PGF), which bind to VEGFR1, thus freeing the available VEGF-A to bindVEGFR2.27These angiogenic factors are induced in response to tissue specific biochemical signals or mechanical forces within the local environment (Fig. ...

Capillary action, commonly known as capillary effect or motion, is when liquid flows through narrow spaces without external forces, such as gravity; rather, the liquid's movement is aided by intermolecular forces present in between the liquid and solid surface(s). The two intramolecular forces tha...
The rise or fall of the surface of a liquid within a very narrow tube due to a difference in cohesive force within the molecules of liquid and the adhesive force between the liquid and the wall of the tube is known as capillary action....
2.7.3Capillary Rise in a Tube When acapillary tubeis plunged into a volume of wetting liquid, the liquid rises inside the tube under the effect ofcapillary forces(Figs. 2.49and2.50). It is observed that the height reached by the liquid is inversely proportional to the radius of the tube....
Fig. 1. The recruitment of leukocytes to ischemic sites involves a complex cascade of highly integrated steps. When leukocytes exit capillaries, they are moved to the postcapillary venular walls (margination) by hydrodynamic dispersal forces. In the presence of activating factors, the marginated le...
