Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system is a one-way circulatory system (lymph always travels in one direction, towards the heart). It lacks a central pumping mechanism like the heart; instead, contractions of the lymph vessels push lymph through the system.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is A. Lymphatic vessels pass through lymph nodes. This allows the lymph to be filtered as it travels through the lymph nodes. The filtration system in the lymph nodes removes antibodies and pathogens and stimulates the immune responses as needed.
