Lymph vessels transfer lymph into blood through:

Correct answer: B. Subclavian vein

  • A. Subclavian artery
  • B. Subclavian vein
  • C. Iliac artey
  • D. Iliac vein

Explanation

The transfer of lymph from lymph vessels to the blood occurs through the subclavian vein, not the subclavian artery, iliac artery, or iliac vein. Lymphatic vessels collect excess interstitial fluid, known as lymph, from tissues throughout the body. These vessels transport the lymph to lymph nodes, where it undergoes filtration and immune response. Eventually, the lymph is returned to the bloodstream.
