Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphatic vessels: Lymphatic vessels are the network of capillaries (microvessels) and a large network of tubes located throughout your body that transport lymph away from tissues. Lymphatic vessels collect and filter lymph (at the nodes) as it continues to move toward larger vessels called collecting ducts.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, ducts, nodes, and other tissues throughout the body. Lymphatic vessels collect interstitial fluid and transport it to lymph nodes. These nodes filter out damaged cells, bacteria, and other foreign bodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -This system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels (a network of thin tubes that carry lymph and white blood cells). Lymphatic vessels branch, like blood vessels, into all the tissues of the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Lymph. Lymph is a fluid similar in composition to blood plasma. Lymphatic Vessels. Lymphatic vessels, unlike blood vessels, only carry fluid away from the tissues. Lymphatic Organs.
