True/False: Peyer's patches are clusters of lymphoid tissue found primarily in the large intestine.
False
True/False: The lymphatic capillaries function to absorb the excess protein-containing interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream.
True
True/False: Lymph capillary permeability is due to minivalves and protein filaments.
True
True/False: Lymphatic capillaries are permeable to proteins.
True
True/False: Digested fats are absorbed from the intestine by the lymph capillaries.
