Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymphatic capillaries have a unique arrangement of endothelial cells that overlap in a way resembling roof shingles. This structure allows for the efficient uptake of tissue fluid into the lymphatic system, while also preventing the fluid from escaping back into the interstitial space. This overlapping arrangement is distinct from the tight junctions found in blood capillaries, making choice E the correct answer.
