Low-interest generally refers to a situation where the interest rate set or offered is below the standard rate typically expected or available in the market. It is often applied in a financial context, referring to low rates on loans, credit cards, or other forms of credit extended by banks or other lending institutions. Lower interest rates often mean lesser costs for borrowing, making it more affordable for individuals or businesses.

The central vein of the suprarenal gland is the main vein through which blood is drained from the adrenal (suprarenal) gland. It is a significant structure of the adrenal gland draining directly into the inferior vena cava. It carries not only deoxygenated blood but also hormones secreted by the gland such as cortisol and adrenaline, which help control body functions like immune response, metabolism, stress response, and blood pressure.

Lowbrowed generally refers to something lacking in intellectual or cultured refinement, often associated with being simple, unrefined, or vulgar. More literary usage may refer to physical features related to having low or prominent brow ridges but its typically used more metaphorically to describe intellectual characteristics.

A capillary is a small blood vessel from 5 to 10 micrometres (μm) in diameter. Capillaries are composed of only the tunica intima, consisting of a thin wall of simple squamous endothelial cells. They are the smallest blood vessels in the body: they convey blood between the arterioles and venules. These microvessels are the site of exchange of many substances with the interstitial fluid surrounding them. Substances which cross capillaries include water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, urea, glucose, uric acid, lactic acid and creatinine. Lymph capillaries connect with larger lymph vessels to drain lymphatic fluid collected in the microcirculation.
During early embryonic development, new capillaries are formed through vasculogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation that occurs through a de novo production of endothelial cells that then form vascular tubes. The term angiogenesis denotes the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing blood vessels and already present endothelium which divides.
