What is the last pathway lymph takes in the body
A
Passes into lymph vessels
B
Passes into lymph nodes
C
Enters the venous system and becomes part of blood plasma
D
Drains in the lymphatic ducts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Filtered lymph then moves toward major lymphatic ducts-namely, the thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct, located at the junction between the subclavian and internal jugular veins. These ducts empty the filtered lymph into the veins to rejoin the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph enters a lymph node through several afferent lymphatic vessels. It then passes through the cortex, paracortex and medulla of the node, and exits on the opposite side through a single efferent lymphatic vessel.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the interstitial fluid accumulates, it is picked up by the tiny lymphatic capillaries along with other substances to form lymph. This fluid then passes through the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes and finally enters the venous circulation.
