Efferent lymph carry lymph

Efferent lymph carry lymph

• A. Away from node
• B. Toward lymph node
• C. Circulate blood
• D. Produce lymph

Answer: (A)

Efferent describes vessels that carry something away from a structure. In a lymph node, lymph enters through afferent lymphatics, is filtered by immune cells inside the node, and exits via efferent lymphatics. Those efferent vessels carry lymph away from the node toward larger lymphatic channels and eventually back into the circulatory system. Lymph is not blood, and it isn’t produced by lymph vessels; it originates from interstitial fluid and is transported through the lymphatic system.
