The features of lymphatic vessels are:

  • Smooth muscle is present in the vessel wall
  • Valves are present
  • A tunica interna is present

Explanation for each option:

  1. They resist moderate to high pressure: Incorrect. Lymphatic vessels are low-pressure vessels. They do not resist moderate to high pressure like arteries do.

  2. Smooth muscle is present in the vessel wall: Correct. Lymphatic vessels have smooth muscle in their walls, which helps in the propulsion of lymph.

  3. Valves are present: Correct. Lymphatic vessels contain valves that prevent the backflow of lymph, ensuring it moves in one direction towards the heart.

  4. A tunica interna is present: Correct. Lymphatic vessels have a tunica interna (intima), which is the innermost layer of the vessel wall.

  5. They have thick walls: Incorrect. Lymphatic vessels have relatively thin walls compared to arteries and veins.

Summary: The features of lymphatic vessels include the presence of smooth muscle in the vessel wall, valves, and a tunica interna. They do not resist moderate to high pressure and do not have thick walls.
