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 false because lymph vessels do not open into arteries, but they open into larger veins (specifically, the subclavian veins).
Statement B is true because lymph contains plasma, proteins, and a few white blood cells, but not red blood cells in significant amounts.
Statement C is false because lymph does not contain red blood cells; it only contains white blood cells.
Statement D is true because lymph vessels carry lymph through the body and eventually empty into the larger veins (the subclavian veins).
Therefore, the correct answer is option (4).
