Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: The statement is false.

Explanation:

Lymph capillaries DO NOT form a two-way system that moves lymph to and from the heart. The two-way system is only formed by blood capillaries; lymph capillaries are blind-ended, because they only move the lymph AWAY from the tissues.

Lymphatic capillaries are very thin and permeable vessels that locate between the cells and have the function to drain the extracellular fluid and the cells associated with it, which makes up the lymph. The lymph will ultimately return to the venous circulation.
