Tissue fluid in a lymphatic system is called as:
- A
Plasma
- B
Matrix
- C
Lymph
- D
Blood
The correct answer is Lymph, which is the fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system. Lymph is derived from tissue fluid, which is formed when plasma leaves the blood vessels and bathes the cells in tissues. It collects in lymphatic vessels and is transported back into the bloodstream.
Other options are incorrect: Plasma is the liquid part of blood, not found in the lymphatic system; Matrix does not specifically refer to any fluid but rather the structural material; and Blood is the fluid of the circulatory system, separate from lymph.
Plasma is the liquid component of blood, not lymph, and is found within blood vessels.
Matrix generally refers to the material or tissue in which more specialized structures are embedded; it is not a term used to describe tissue fluid in the lymphatic system.
Lymph is the correct term for the fluid in the lymphatic system that is derived from tissue fluid.
Blood is the fluid that circulates throughout the cardiovascular system and is distinct from the lymphatic system's fluid.
