Answer:

The given statement is TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The lymph capillaries are a part of the lymphatic system. They are thin-walled, microvessels which are located in the spaces between the cells and surround the blood vessels.

The function of lymphatic capillaries is to collect the excess interstitial fluid and return it to the blood. The interstitial fluid is the fluid present between the cells.

Therefore, the lymphatic capillaries surround the blood vessels and collects the excess interstitial fluid and returns it to the blood.
