Question

Choose the correct function of lymph.

• A. Carries digested and absorbed fat from the intestine
• B. Returns RBCs and WBCs to lymph nodes
• C. Drains excess fluid from extra cellular space back into the blood
• D. Both A and D

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and D

Through the pores present in the walls of capillaries some amount of plasma, proteins and blood cells escape into intercellular spaces in the tissues to form the tissue fluid or lymph. It is colourless and is similar to the plasma of blood. Lymph does not contain RBCs.

Lymph drains into lymphatic capillaries from the intercellular spaces, which join to form large lymph vessels that finally open into larger veins. Lymph carries digested and absorbed fat from the intestine and drains excess fluid from extracellular space back into the blood.

So, the correct answer is option D.
