PATHOLOGY

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The microscopic lymph capillaries merge to form lymphatic vessels.
