Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Lymph nodes ____
A
clear fluid that comes from blood plasma
B
exits blood vessels at capillary beds
C
interstitial fluid that surrounds the cells
D
generate potentially pathogenic cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph capillaries pick up the excess interstitial fluid and proteins and return them to the venous blood. After the fluid enters the lymph capillaries, it is called lymph.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph fluid passes through lymph nodes. A network of lymph vessels connects the lymph nodes together. You have nodes throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph (from Latin, lympha, meaning “water") is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to be recirculated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma, which exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid becomes the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Lymph contains water, proteins, salts, lipids, white blood cells, and other substances that must be returned to the blood.
