Question

Which of the following is the function of lymph?

• B. Lymph drains excess fluid from extracellular space back into the blood.
• C. Lymph maintains the volume of the blood.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Lymph is the fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system. It is a clear-to-white fluid made of white blood cells, especially lymphocytes. It performs multiple functions inside our bodies. It carries digested and absorbed fat from the intestine. It takes lymphocytes and antibodies from the lymph nodes to the blood. The interstitial fluid is absorbed into the lymph vessels and again it is added to blood from the lymph, and in turn, regulates the blood volume.

So, the correct option is D.
