Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph capillaries help keep the overall fluid balance in your body. Throughout your body, interstitial fluid (fluid found in the spaces around cells) leaks from blood capillaries into your tissues. Lymph capillaries pick up this fluid and help return it to your circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluid Pressure Regulation Lymphatic capillaries collect lymph fluid from the tissues, which allows them to regulate the pressure of interstitial fluid. This fluid is essentially plasma that leaks out of cardiovascular capillaries into the tissues due to the forces of hydrostatic or oncotic pressure.
