Lymphatic capillaries in the feet are primarily located in the dermal layer of the skin, particularly around the toes, between the skin and muscle layers, and within the connective tissues. They are found in areas where there is a high density of blood vessels and lymph nodes, facilitating the drainage of interstitial fluid and the transport of immune cells. These capillaries help in maintaining fluid balance and play a crucial role in the immune response.
