Select all that apply. Both the lymphatic and circulatory system have ____
A
vessels which carry liquids throughout the body
B
arteries which carry things away from the heart
C
capillaries which pick up/drop off materials at cells
D
valves which prevent backward flow of materials
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphatic Vessels The wall of the lymph capillary is composed of endothelium in which the simple squamous cells overlap to form a simple one-way valve. This arrangement permits fluid to enter the capillary but prevents lymph from leaving the vessel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once formed, valves prevent back‐flow within the lymphatic system to ensure drainage of interstitial fluid back into the circulatory system, thereby serving a critical role in maintaining fluid homeostasis.
