Question
Chapter 12, Problem 16SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure of lymphatic capillary and its comparison to the blood capillary.
Introduction:
The lymphatic system is the body’s drainage system that picks up the lymph (excess interstitial fluid) and returns it to the blood. The lymph capillaries absorb the excess and leaked fluid and weave between the blood capillaries and the tissue cells.
