,1. Label the organ below (highlighted in blue, also indicated by
the arrow):
Correct Answer: Spleen
Rationale: The spleen is a large lymphatic organ located in the upper left
quadrant of the abdomen. It filters the blood, recycles old red blood cells,
and supports immune function.
---
,2. Name the lymphatic vessel below:
Correct Answer: Thoracic duct
Rationale: The thoracic duct is the main lymphatic vessel draining lymph
from the left side of the head, neck, chest, left arm, and both lower
extremities into the venous system at the left subclavian vein.
---
3. True or False: Lymph flows from the heart out to the tissues via the
lymphatic vessels.
Correct Answer: False
Rationale: Lymphatic vessels carry lymph one way only—from the tissues
back toward the heart, not from the heart out to tissues.
, ---
4. True or False: Fluid inside tissues that is not returned via the veins is
returned to the heart via the lymph system.
Correct Answer: True
Rationale: Interstitial fluid that is not reabsorbed by the venous capillaries
enters lymphatic capillaries and eventually returns to the bloodstream
through the lymphatic system.
---
5. True or False: Lymph fluid moves in the following order — lymphatic
duct → lymphatic vessels → lymph capillaries → veins.
Correct Answer: False
Rationale: The correct flow is: lymph capillaries → lymphatic vessels →
lymphatic ducts → veins. Lymph capillaries are the smallest vessels where
lymph originates.
