Compare lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine with those found elsewhere

A) Lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine are called mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and they contain dividing lymphocytes. Lymphatic capillaries elsewhere house mature, non-dividing, lymphocytes. B) Lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine are called lymph corpuscles and they are involved in the immune response of the body. Lymphatic capillaries elsewhere are not involved in the immune response of the body. C) Lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine are called lymph corpuscles and they are not involved in the immune response of the body. Lymphatic capillaries elsewhere are involved in the immune response of the body. D) Lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine also absorb nutrients to deliver to the hepatic portal vein and are critical components of the hepatic portal system. Lymphatic capillaries elsewhere do not carry any nutrients in the lymph. E) Lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine are called lacteals and they transport lipids. Lymphatic capillaries elsewhere are associated with blood capillary networks.
