Correct answer: A. From the tissues of the body to blood
- A. From the tissues of the body to blood
- B. From the tissues of the body to lymph

- D. From the respiratory system to blood
Explanation
Lymph or tissue fluid is actually a fluid of interstitial spaces i.e. it oozes out from the blood in interstitial spaces then collected and drained through lymph vessels and finally it is returned to blood via subclavian vein. Thus lymph is a fluid in transit between interstitial fluid and the blood.
