Correct answer: C. 2-3 L
- A. 7-8 L
- B. None of these
- C. 2-3 L
- D. 8-12 L
Explanation
Approximately 30 litres of fluid pass from the blood capillaries into interstitial space each day, whereas only 27 liters passes from the interstitial fluid back into blood capillaries. The remaining 3 liters of fluid enters the lymphatic capillaries, where the fluid is called lymph (meaning clear spring water) and passes through the lymphatic vessels back to the blood.

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
