Formed elements and clotting factors are removed from the blood. The remaining fluid will be called as:
| 1. | Plasma | 2. | Lymph |
| 3. | Serum | 4. | Antiserum |
Another name for lymph would be:
| 1. | Extra-cellular fluid | 2. | Tissue fluid |
| 3. | Plasma ultrafiltrate | 4. | Serous fluid |
Exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and the cells always occurs:
1. by active transport
2. with the help of transport carrier proteins
3. at the arterial end of the capillary network
4. through the interstitial fluid
The functions of the lymphatic system do not include:
| 1. | The removal of interstitial fluid from tissues |
| 2. | Transport of factors needed for coagulation of blood |
| 3. | transport of nutrients and hormones |
| 4. | Absorption and transport of end products of fat digestion |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
| Assertion (A): | Lymph that enters the lymph vessels from the interstitial spaces usually does not flow backwards along the vessels. |
| Reason (R): | Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is not closed and has no central pump. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
What is true regarding the lymphatic system?
| 1. | A two-way transport system with fluids and cells moving in both directions |
| 2. | A continuous closed circulation running parallel to the arteries and veins |
| 3. | A one-way system collecting the lymph from body tissues and spaces and reintroducing it to the bloodstream |
| 4. | A one-way system collecting lymph from body spaces and soaking it into the body cells |
Lymph does not contain:
| 1. | proteins | 2. | microorganisms |
| 3. | red blood cells and platelets | 4. | minerals |
