Tissue fluid in a lymphatic system is called as:
Correct answer: C. Lymph
- A. Plasma
- B. Matrix
- C. Lymph
- D. Blood
Explanation
Surplus tissue fluid that drains into the blind ending lymph capillaries is called lymph, and it travels one way through nodes and along the thoracic duct back to the subclavian veins. Plasma is the fluid part of blood before it leaves the capillary, so the same fluid takes three names depending on where it is. Lymph resembles plasma but carries far less protein and no red cells.

About Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system returns excess tissue fluid to the bloodstream and supports immune defence through lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus and tonsils. It also transports absorbed fats from intestinal lacteals, which distinguishes lymphatic circulation from the blood vascular system.
