Question

The fluid present between the blood capillaries and the cell membrane, through which gasses, nutrients, and metabolic wastes are exchanged between the blood and the cells are called as:

• A. Lymph
• B. Plasma
• C. Serum
• D. Normal saline

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lymph

The lymphatic system is responsible for returning excess interstitial fluid to the blood. Of the fluid that leaves the capillary, about 90 per cent is returned. The 10 per cent that does not return becomes part of the interstitial fluid that surrounds the tissue cells. It helps in the exchange of gases, nutrients and removes metabolic waste.

So, the correct answer is option A.
