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 |
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 |
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. |
