Understanding the Close Association between Lymphatic Vessels and Capillary Beds

Why are the lymphatic vessels closely associated with the capillary beds?

The lymphatic vessels are closely associated with the capillary beds because some of the interstitial fluid that leaks from the lymphatic vessels is picked up by the capillaries.

The interstitial fluid that leaks from the lymphatic vessels may cause osmotic pressure, which is why it is usually picked up by the capillaries.

The capillaries then return them into the blood so that it can be redistributed to the cells.
