Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymph is filtered in the lymph nodes, which contain specialized immune cells that remove harmful pathogens and other foreign substances from the lymph as it passes through.

Answer: B 
 Lymph is composed primarily of fluid that has leaked from the blood capillaries, along with cellular debris, foreign particles, and immune cells. It does not contain significant numbers of red blood cells.

Answer: C 
 Lymph is carried through a network of lymphatic vessels that are separate from the circulatory system of arteries and veins. It moves from the lymphatic capillaries into progressively larger lymphatic vessels, eventually returning to the blood.

Answer: D 
 Lymph does not contain significant numbers of red blood cells. These cells remain within the circulatory system and are not present in the lymphatic vessels or nodes.

Answer: E 
 Lymph does not travel primarily in arterioles and venuoles, but rather in a separate system of lymphatic vessels. These vessels are different from arteries and veins, and carry lymph throughout the body.
