Describe the structural and functional relationship between a capillary bed of the blood vascular system and lymphatic capillaries
What will be an ideal response
Blind-ended lymphatic capillaries weave between the tissue cells and blood capillaries in the loose connective tissues of the body. Although similar to blood capillaries, lymphatic capillaries are even more permeable due to minivalves that act as one-way swinging doors. Leaked fluid from blood capillaries is taken up by the lymphatic capillaries as well as proteins in the interstitial space that are unable to enter blood capillaries.
