Summary Introduction

To review:

The structural features of lymphatic capillaries and their comparison with blood capillaries.

Introduction:

The circulatory system is associated with the transportation of blood and various dissolved essential materials to different parts of the body. There are various structures that are associated with the circulatory system, in order to complete its tasks. Several structures perform the same function at different levels of the body but are structurally different.

Explanation of Solution

Lymphatic capillaries are thin-walled permeable vessels connected to the areolar connective tissue of the blood capillaries. They carry the lymphatic fluid returning after the blood circulation from different parts of the body. Blood capillaries are the thinnest components of arteries and veins which are in direct contact with the tissues that exchange gases and other materials for respiration. The differences between the lymphatic capillaries and the blood capillaries are summarized below:

Imagine you are a botanist.  Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).   Field Notes:  Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park                 (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis:  Body:  Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm  Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves:  Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History:  Diploid sporophyte dominant generation.  Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte.  Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced.  Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte. Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified…
