Question 3 • 26-27 Ignite Health Science Concepts - EL3602

The lymphatic circulation carries lymph, which is a fluid that has other names prior to flowing into a lymphatic vessel. What is the name of this fluid when it is still part of the blood?

Answer
A
plasma
B
arteries
C
interstitial fluid
D
capillaries

Explanation

While the fluid is still circulating in the blood, it is called plasma. Some plasma filters out through capillary walls and becomes interstitial fluid; once it enters lymphatic vessels, it is called lymph. Arteries and capillaries are blood vessels, not names for the fluid.
