Question

Select TRUE statements about lymph from the following: 
A. Lymph vessels carry lymph through the body and finally open into larger arteries. 
B. Lymph contains some amount of plasma, proteins and blood cells. 
C. Lymph contains some amount of plasma, proteins and red blood cells. 
D. Lymph vessels carry lymph through the body and finally open into larger veins. 
The true statements are:

• A. A and B
• B. B and D
• C. A and C
• D. C and D

Hint:

Lymph is a fluid that helps with the removal of waste products and transport of immune cells, and it always ends up in the veins, not arteries.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Statement A is incorrect: lymph vessels do not connect to arteries; they connect to larger veins (e.g., subclavian veins).
Statement B is correct: lymph includes plasma, proteins, and some white blood cells, but minimal red blood cells.
Statement C is incorrect: lymph lacks red blood cells and only contains white blood cells.
Statement D is correct: lymph vessels transport lymph and ultimately drain into larger veins (the subclavian veins).

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
