Which of the following is not a true comparison between lymphatic capillaries and blood capillaries? A. Lymphatic capillaries have mini valves that allow fluid to only flow into the vessels that are absent in blood capillaries B. Lymphatic capillaries have thicker walls than blood capillaries C. Lymphatic capillaries have larger diameters than blood capillaries D. Lymphatic capillaries originate as pockets rather than the continuous tubes of blood capillaries
Question
Which of the following is not a true comparison between lymphatic capillaries and blood capillaries? A. Lymphatic capillaries have mini valves that allow fluid to only flow into the vessels that are absent in blood capillaries B. Lymphatic capillaries have thicker walls than blood capillaries C. Lymphatic capillaries have larger diameters than blood capillaries D. Lymphatic capillaries originate as pockets rather than the continuous tubes of blood capillaries
Solution
The statement that is not a true comparison between lymphatic capillaries and blood capillaries is B. "Lymphatic capillaries have thicker walls than blood capillaries".
Here's why:
A. Lymphatic capillaries do indeed have mini valves that allow fluid to only flow into the vessels, a feature that is absent in blood capillaries.
B. Lymphatic capillaries do not have thicker walls than blood capillaries. In fact, they have thinner walls to allow for the easy exchange of materials.
C. Lymphatic capillaries do have larger diameters than blood capillaries, allowing them to carry larger molecules and cells.
D. Lymphatic capillaries do originate as pockets rather than the continuous tubes of blood capillaries. This allows them to easily pick up fluids that have escaped from the blood capillaries.

In capillary beds, the net inward pressure at the venular ends of the capillaries is less than the net outward pressure at the arteriolar ends of the capillaries. What is the result of this difference in pressures?Multiple ChoiceLymphatic vessels push fluid into the capillaries.More fluid flows into the capillaries than moves out.More fluid leaves the capillaries than returns.Pressure in the venules increases.
