<strong>Lymphatic</strong> System<br />
The small amount of interstitial fluid that<br />
remains is picked up by tiny vessels called<br />
lymph capillaries.<br />
The cells forming the walls of the lymph<br />
capillaries are loosely fitted together making<br />
the wall very porous.<br />
Even the large serum proteins that filtered<br />
through the capillary wall pass easily from<br />
the tissue space into the interior of the<br />
lymph capillary.<br />
The lymph capillaries of the intestinal villi,<br />
called lacteals, also pick up fat droplets.
