Blood Plasma Enters the Lymphatic Capillaries Directly from Circulatory Capillaries

Question

Blood plasma enters the lymphatic capillaries directly from circulatory capillaries.

Accepted Answer

Blood plasma does not directly enter lymphatic capillaries from circulatory capillaries. Instead, it filters out of the blood capillaries into the interstitial space as interstitial fluid, and then this fluid can enter the lymphatic capillaries to become lymph.
