What Is An Example Of Capillary Action In Nature? Examples of capillary action in water include water moving up a straw or glass tube, moving through a paper or cloth towel, moving through a plant, and tears moving through tear ducts. Which is an example of capillary action? Answer: Water moving up in straw or
Where Does Capillary Action Happen? Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube (picture to right) is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity. Will capillary rise occurs in
What Is The Effect On Capillary Filtration And Reabsorption? Reabsorption, the influx of tissue fluid into the capillaries, is driven by the BCOP. Filtration predominates in the arterial end of the capillary; in the middle section, the opposing pressures are virtually identical so there is no net exchange, whereas reabsorption predominates at the venule end
