MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphatic capillaries are similar to blood capillaries, but they are larger in diameter and have closed ends. Unlike blood capillaries, fluid can flow into lymph capillaries but can’t flow out through the cell walls. It can only move forward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph vessels are thin walled tubes that, similar to blood vessels, carry white blood cells, fluids and waste. Unlike veins and arteries, however, lymph vessels do not carry red blood cells and their main function is to remove excess fluid from tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -In comparison to cardiovascular capillaries, lymphatic capillaries are larger, distributed throughout connective tissues, and have a dead end that completely prevents backflow of lymph.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymphatic capillaries are free and blind at one end, so that the capillary can join the interstitial fluid but can not pass out. Their contents are drained into lymph vessels through these capillaries; they travel through the lymph nodes and then join the venous or main circulatory system.
