| specific dynamic action | The increase of heat production caused by the ingestion of food, especially of protein. (05 Mar 2000) |

| delayed-action preparations | Dosage forms of a drug that act over a period of time. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermogenic action | Increase of heat production of the body, as by the thyroid hormone. Synonym: thermogenic action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of mass action | <chemistry> This law states that the rate of a given chemical reaction is proportional to concentration of the reactants. (09 Oct 1997) |
| arterial capillary | A capillary opening from an arteriole or metarteriole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bile capillary | One of the intercellular channels, about 1 um or less in diameter, that occurs between liver cells forming the first portion of the bile system. Synonym: bile capillary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood capillary | A vessel whose wall consists of endothelium and its basement membrane; its diameter, when the capillary is open, is about 8 um; with the electron microscope, fenestrated capillary's and continuous capillary's are distinguished. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary | <anatomy> Any one of the minute vessels that connect the arterioles and venules, forming a network in nearly all parts of the body. Their walls act as semipermeable membranes for the interchange of various substances, including fluids, between the blood and tissue fluid. Synonym: vas capillare. Origin: L. Capillaris = hair like (16 Dec 1997) |
| capillary angioma | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment. (07 Mar 2000) |
| capillary arteriole | A minute artery that terminates in a capillary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary attraction | The force that causes fluids to rise up very fine tubes or through the pores of a loose material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary bed | The capillaries considered collectively and their volume capacity for blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary circulation | The course of the blood through the capillaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary drainage | Drainage by means of a wick of gauze or other material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary electrophoresis | A technique for separating compounds, a sample of a compound to beseparated is placed in a capillary tube, which is then subjected to ahigh voltage current that separates its chemical components. (09 Oct 1997) |
| capillary action |
The phenomenon of a liquid such as water spontaneously creeping up thin tubes and fibers, this is caused by adhesive and cohesive forces and surface tension.

| capillary action |
Also called capillary attraction. Process by which water is drawn up through the soil or, in cases when watering devices are used, drawn up into the soil from a saucer or some form of reservoir. Popular self-watering devices, which employ capillary action, include the Watermaid, MiniWell, MaxiWell and the spill-proof WaterShip.
