Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system is a network of delicate tubes throughout the body. It drains fluid (called lymph) that has leaked from the blood vessels into the tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream via the lymph nodes.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph is a fluid similar in composition to blood plasma. It is derived from blood plasma as fluids pass through capillary walls at the arterial end. As the interstitial fluid begins to accumulate, it is picked up and removed by tiny lymphatic vessels and returned to the blood.
