Fluid that is found outside the circulatory system and also outside cells is
A. lymph.
B. plasma.
C. interstitial fluid.
D. intracellular fluid. - Ans:✔✔-C. interstitial fluid.
These lymph system structures are designed to ensure that foreign cells meet with lymphocytes. As
such, they serve as outposts of the immune system.

What are the three parts of the lymphatic system? - Ans:✔✔-lymph vessels/ lymphatics
lymph
lymph nodes
interstitial fluid - Ans:✔✔-fluid in the tissues between cells
What are the functions of our lymphatic system? - Ans:✔✔-- Transports lymph and "junk" from the
tissues back to the cardiovascular system.
- Filters the lymph fluid in lymph nodes to destroy pathogens as part of the immune system.
- Nourishes cells in the lymphatic system.
(Transport fats from the small intestine)
What are the jobs of the lymphatic vessels? - Ans:✔✔-- The lymphatic vessels provide a one-way system
that carries lymph back toward the heart
What are the types of lymphatic vessels? - Ans:✔✔-- Lymph vessels (lymphatics) include the lymphatic
capillaries, collecting vessels, (trunks,) and ducts.
Lymphatic capillaries are similar to blood capillaries, except: - Ans:✔✔-- they are very permeable (take
up cell debris, pathogens, and cancer cells) and
