Question

the compositions in lymph in lymph vessels is roughy the same as which following?
blood
interstitial fluid
glomular filtrate
bile
chyme


my thought is glomular filtrate

Answer 1

Why?

Answer 2

Filtrate is what becomes urine, eventually. Why do you think that's similar in composition to lymph?

Answer 3

lymphs are processed in the kidneys, correct?

Answer 4

No, urine is processed in the kidneys.

Answer 5

nevermind... i'n not exactly sure..

Answer 6

so then would it actually be bile, then?

Answer 7

Bile is made in the gall bladder. It's sort of a soapy emulsifier which helps break down fats. Do you think it's a lot like lymph?

Answer 8

And for the record, chyme is partially digested food in your stomach. Blood is what flows in your blood vessels and intersitial fluid is what fills the spaces around your cells.

Start by asking yourself, what exactly is lymph?

Answer 9

i do believe bile is similar to lymph

Answer 10

It isn't. Bile is full of really strong salts and many partially hydrophobic molecules to help break down fats you've digested. If your lymph remotely resembled bile, you'd be dead.

Answer 11

so then what would it be?

Answer 12

Ask yourself, what is lymph?

The pressure in your blood vessels pushes fluid - not cells, but the fluid in which blood cells float - out into the tissue. That becomes intersitial fluid. Then the fluid gets collected in the lymphatic veins and returned to circulation through the thoracic duct.

Of course, if you like bile, it's your test. Put it and see if you get it right.

Answer 13

blues is right - interstitial fluids. ill put my head on this answer
