English Definitions:
suction (noun)
a force over an area produced by a pressure difference
sucking, suck, suction (verb)
the act of sucking
suction (verb)
remove or draw away by the force of suction
"the doctors had to suction the water from the patient's lungs"
suction (verb)
empty or clean (a body cavity) by the force of suction

suction (Noun)
The principle of physics by which matter is drawn from one space into another because the pressure inside the second space is lower than the pressure in the first.
suction (Noun)
The principle of physics by which one item is caused to adhere to another because the pressure in the space between the items is lower than the pressure outside that space.
suction (Noun)
The process of creating an imbalance in pressure to draw matter from one place to another.
suction (Verb)
To create an imbalance in pressure between one space and another in order to draw matter between the spaces.
suction (Verb)
To draw out the contents of a space.
suction (Adjective)
Of or relating to something that operates by the principle of creating an imbalance in pressure to draw matter from one place to another.
Suction
Suction is the flow of a fluid into a partial vacuum, or region of low pressure. The pressure gradient between this region and the ambient pressure will propel matter toward the low pressure area. Suction is popularly thought of as an attractive effect, which is incorrect since vacuums do not innately attract matter. Dust being "sucked" into a vacuum cleaner is actually being pushed in by the higher pressure air on the outside of the cleaner. The higher pressure of the surrounding fluid can push matter into a vacuum but a vacuum cannot attract matter. Humans can create a sucking effect with the use of the lips, as in the case of drinking through a straw.
Suction
Suction is the colloquial term to describe the air pressure differential between areas. Removing air from a space results in a pressure differential. Suction pressure is therefore limited by external air pressure. Even a perfect vacuum cannot suck with more pressure than is available in the surrounding environment. Suctions can form on the sea, for example, when a ship founders. When the pressure in one part of a physical system is reduced relative to another, the fluid in the higher pressure region will exert a force relative to the region of lowered pressure, referred to as pressure-gradient force. Pressure reduction may be static, as in a piston and cylinder arrangement, or dynamic, as in the case of a vacuum cleaner when air flow results in a reduced pressure region. When animals breathe, the diaphragm and muscles around the rib cage cause a change of volume in the lungs. The increased volume of the chest cavity decreases the pressure inside, creating an imbalance with the ambient air pressure, resulting in suction.
