Explanation / Answer

1. Efferent vessel is a lymphatic vessel that carries lymph from one lymphnode to other lymph node. Efferent vessel matches with option (H).

2. Medullary cords contain the lymphatic tissue containing lymphocytes and macrophages. medullary cords match with option (G).

3. Cisterna chyli (Cisterna chili) is a sac like structure found at the base of throcic duct. cisterna chili matches with option (J).

4. Right lymphatic duct is found in the upper region of right side of trunk (thoracic cavity). The lymphatic vessel drains into right subclavian trunk. Right lymphatic duct matches with option (A).

5. Red pulp is the connective tissue found in spleen and contains the red blood cells. Red pulp matches with option (C).

6. lymph node is nodule like structure found in lymphatic system in which the lymph is formed and the lymphocytes are found deep in lymphnodes. lymphnodes match with option (E).

7. Thoracic duct is main vessel of lymphatic system that empties into left subclavian vein. Thoracic duct matches with option (F).

8. White pulp is lymphoid tissue surrounding splenic blood vessels and the lymphocytes are found surrounding trabecular artery. white pulp matches with option (I).

9. Lymph is fluid found in ly mphatic vessels drawn out of tissue blood and is returned to blood. Lymph matches with option (D).

10. Afferent vessel is the lymphatic vessel that empties into lymphnode. Afferent vessel matches with option (B).
