Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A True. Lymph : The straw-colored, slightly alkaline fluid bathing body tissues contain white blood cells, blood platelets, and plasma protein that helps to build immunity. Lymph flows in the body through its intercellular spaces into the capillaries at the base of the neck.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic vessels drain into collecting ducts, which empty their contents into the two subclavian veins, located under the collarbones. These veins join to form the superior vena cava, the large vein that drains blood from the upper body into the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Similar to other organs, the heart relies on cardiac lymphatics to drain tissue fluid in order to maintain the steady-state interstitial fluid equilibrium. Myocardial contractions help to propel cardiac lymphatic flow.
