Quiz on Blood and Lymphatic System

What happens as blood flows through the capillaries?

• Blood cells and plasma leak through the wall of the capillaries

• Blood cells are absorbed by the veins

• Plasma remains in the arteries

• Blood cells and plasma are filtered by the kidneys

Where does most of the fluid go after leaking through the capillary walls?

• It is absorbed by the capillaries

• It is absorbed by the veins

• It is absorbed by the arteries

• It is absorbed by the lymph nodes

What happens to the rest of the fluid that is not absorbed by the capillaries?

• It goes into the lymphatic system

• It goes into the digestive system

• It goes into the respiratory system

• It goes into the nervous system

What role do skeletal muscles play in lymph circulation?
