    b. Lymphatic capillaries are dead-end tubes.

    d. Lymphatic capillaries are highly permeable.

    Explanation:

    Lymphatic capillaries transport lymph that flows with little pressure, these capillaries are made of endothelium, are blind-ended (closed at one end) and are more permeable than the blood ones because they serve to drain extracellular fluids.

    Blood capillaries, on the other hand, transport blood, that contrary to lymph, flows with more pressure, their walls are also made of endothelium but they are less permeable and conform a circuit, meaning they have no dead ends.

    I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
