| Lymphatic capillaries are more or less permeable than blood capillaries? | More. They can pick up fluid and protein left in the tissue as blood leaves capillary bed. |
| Fluid in the tissue spaces that carries protein molecules and other substances back to the blood | Lymph |
| Difference btw afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels | Afferent (4 or 5) carry lymph toward the center of a lymph node. Efferent (one) carry lymph from the center of a lymph node to outside. |
