Question
Chapter 44.3, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The connection between the structure and function of the lymph capillaries.
Introduction: Blood is transported across the body with the help of blood vessels. The complete network of blood, blood vessels and heart form the circulatory system of the body. There are majorly four types of blood vessels: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins. Lymph capillary is a type of blood vessel.

Students have asked these similar questions
Asap Lymph enters a lymph node via afferent vessels, circulates through lymph sinuses, and then exits via efferent vessels. What is the physiological significance of each lymph node having fewer efferent vessels than afferent vessels?
Even though the lymphatic system is a component of the circulatory system, why is the term circulation not the most appropriate term to describe the flow of lymph?
How would you describe the flow?
Explain how lymph is formed. What would be the impact on lymph formation if the osmotic force at the venous end of the capillary was more successful at recovering fluid lost at the arterial end?
List differences and similarities in lymphatic capillaries and blood capillaries. How do their differences in structure relate to their functions?
