Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The lymph capillaries are blind-ending and possess flap valves between adjacent lymphatic endothelial cells. These functional valves permit entry of ISF but prevent its return to the interstitium.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is (a) They empty into lymphatic collecting vessels. The lymphatic capillaries drain the lymph into the lymphatic vessels. These lymphatic vessels finally join the lymph nodes. Lymph capillaries have more proteins than blood capillaries.
