The surface of the skin is strongly sucked by the vacuum pressure in the cup, opening capillary vessels and pores.

They can move across the cell membrane of capillary vessels and go between cells to hunt invading pathogens.

It had destroyed the capillary vessels around the wound, preparing the way for the gangrene that had followed.

Diabetics may receive vision improvement from bilberry since they are prone to damage of the tiny capillary vessels that feed the eye.

Until now, the stumbling block in tissue engineering has been supplying artificial tissue with nutrients that have to arrive via capillary vessels.

An intricate network of capillary vessels forms between these two thecal layers and begins to circulate blood to and from the follicle.

The reason for this fallacy was a mistake in methodology (the osmotic pressure was too high and the delicate embryonal capillary vessels were partially damaged).

It consists of irregular masses of round or polyhedral cells, the cells of each mass being grouped around a dilated sinusoidal capillary vessel.

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations in the brain and spinal cord made of dilated capillary vessels.

There was, however, one stage in the circulation which Harvey was not able to see - that in which the veins and arteries lose themselves by subdivision into the tiny capillary vessels.

His name is attached to the theory of reflex arc mediated by the spinal cord, to a method of resuscitation of drowned people, and to the elucidation of function of capillary vessels.

The fresh glow is simply the result of relaxation of the capillary vessels of the skin, allowing a large quantity of blood to come to the surface, so as to give the feeling of superficial warmth.

Macrophages, from the Greek, meaning "large eaters," are large phagocytic leukocytes, which are able to move outside of the vascular system by moving across the cell membrane of capillary vessels and entering the areas between cells in pursuit of invading pathogens.

Reasoning about diseases of the heart and blood vessels began to have a sound basis when, in the seventeenth century, William Harvey established that blood circulates from the heart, through arteries to the minute capillary vessels in every organ, and back by the veins to the heart.

If you would see the legitimate effects of alcohol, look at the permanently congested face of the steady drinker, or his "rum blossoms," and remember that the capillary vessels of his brain and other internal organs are in a similar state, and then say if you think he has been strengthened by alcoholic drinks.

Again he says:-- "Now, it is the result of many observations that the introduction of alcohol specially deranges the vaso-motor system; this derangement showing itself alike in disturbance of the heart's action, and in relaxation of the capillary vessels, which become filled with blood, especially in the nervous system and in the skin.
