Question

Lymphatic system returns

• A. Fluid from body tissues to blood stream
• B. Fluid from blood stream to body tissues
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fluid from body tissues to blood stream

The lymphatic system is a network of lymph vessels and capillaries present in the body in which colourless fluid lymph flows. Lymph is formed from blood only by oozing out of some components of blood from thin walled capillaries. It contains plasma (nutrients, small molecules such as glucose, amino acids) and only lymphocytes but no RBC. It flows towards the heart returning this oozed out fluid to the blood circulation so that they can be used by the body and not lost from the body. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
