Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph or lymphatic capillaries are tiny thin-walled vessels, closed at one end and located in the spaces between cells throughout the body, except in the central nervous system and non-vascular tissues. Lymphatic capillaries are slightly larger in diameter and have greater oncotic pressure than blood capillaries.
