Question

Which of the following helps in the transportation of lymph?

• A. Lymph tubes
• B. Lymph vessels
• C. Lymph capillaries
• D. Lymph nodes

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lymph vessels

Lymphatic capillaries unite to form larger tubes called lymphatic vessels. These have thinner walls and numerous valves to prevent backflow. The two main lymph vessels are thoracic or left lymphatic duct and right lymphatic duct. The thoracic duct is the main collecting duct of the lymphatic system. It receives lymph from the left side of the head, neck, chest, left upper extremity and entire body below the ribs. The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the upper right side of the body.

Thus option B is the correct answer.
