What is the function of the mini-valves in lymph capillaries? what is the function of the mini-valves in lymph capillaries? increase permeability enforce a one way flow from lymphatic system into capillary bed reduce pressure in the lymphatic capillary connect to blood capillaries?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: enforce a one way flow from lymphatic system into capillary bed.
The walls of lymph capillaries consist of loosely joined cells which overlapping edges form mini-valves. Those mini-valves allow extracellular fluid to enter the capillary and prevent fluid from flowing back into the tissue.
