How do lymphatic capillaries differ from capillaries?

Answer 1

lymphatic capillaries are very permeable Lymphatic capillaries have valves that keep fluid from flowing backward. The blood capillaries are regulated by smooth muscle. Lymphatic capillaries are also a but larger than blood capillaries.

Answer 2

Lymph capillaries resemble blood capillaries somewhat, but differ in important ways.

Whereas a blood capillary has an arterial and a venous end, a lymph capillary has no arterial end. Instead, each lymph capillary originates as a closed tube. Lymph capillaries also have a larger and more irregular lumen (inner space) than blood capillaries and are more permeable.

The wall of a lymph capillary is constructed of endothelial cells (which are attached to Anchoring Filaments attaching to surrounding tissue) that overlap one another.(Do not overlap in blood capillaries).

When fluid outside the capillary pushes against the overlapping cells, they swing slightly inward--like a swinging door that moves in only one direction. Fluid inside the capillary cannot flow out through these openings.

When pressure is greater inside the lymphatic capillary, the cells adhere more closely, and lymph cannot escape back into interstitial fluid. The pressure is relieved as lymph moves further down the lymphatic capillary.
A lymph capillary serves as a one-way passage for tissue fluids, while the blood capillary serves as a place of transit for energy sources to tissues, and wastes from tissues to the blood. Lymph capillaries, however, penetrate tissues, and serves as "drains" to the lymph vessel to which they are attached. In essence, things enter and exit blood capillaries, but lymphatic capillaries are only a point of exit.

Answer 3

well for one lymph capillaries depend on skeletal muscles to move and cardiovascular capillaries have there own smooth muscle. also lymph muscles carry lymph which cleans the body while cardiovascular capillaries provide nutrients and oxygen for the body

Answer 4

the end blindly in terminal lymphatic capillaries

Answer 5

Yes, lymphatic capillaries are more permeable.
