The "capillary bed" is the network of capillaries supplying an organ. The more metabolically active the cells, the more capillaries it will require to supply nutrients.

capillary
(kap-ill-air-ee) [L. capillaris, relating to hair]
A microscopic blood vessel that penetrates the tissues and consists of a single layer of endothelial cells that allows exchange between the blood and interstitial fluid.

capillary pores Small spaces in the soil that become filled with a fluid (such as water) because of the adhesion of particles to the matrix (solid substrate) and the cohesion of the water molecules to themselves.
capitate caput = head; ate = like.

The capillary beds of most tissues drain into veins that lead directly back to the heart. But blood draining the intestines is an exception. The veins draining the intestine lead to a second set of capillary beds in the liver.

Blood leaving the capillary beds flows into a progressively larger series of venules that in turn join to form veins. Veins carry blood from capillaries to the heart. With the exception of the pulmonary veins, blood in veins is oxygen-poor.

All living tissues are amply supplied with capillary vessels, which bring nutrients and oxygen to every cell. As tumors enlarge, the cells in the center no longer receive nutrients from the normal blood vessels.

The DNA is first transferred from the gel to a membrane by capillary action. Fluid wicks from the gel through the blotting membrane to several layers of absorbent paper, but the nucleic acids stick to the membrane.

The aqueous solution passes from the agarose gel through the membrane into the absorbant paper by capillary action. The DNA moves with the aqueous solution but becomes trapped on the membrane.

In mammals the paired lungs are each supplied by a bronchus that divides, treelike, into bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in an atrium from which arise numerous alveoli that contact a vast capillary system.
