Question

multiple choice question
tissue fluids that are not reabsorbed by blood capillaries are absorbed by which of the following?

the skeletal muscles

the aorta

blood arteries

lymphatic capillaries

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Skeletal muscles: Involved in movement, not fluid absorption. Eliminate.
• Aorta: Main artery, transports blood, not for tissue fluid absorption. Eliminate.
• Blood arteries: Carry oxygenated blood, not for absorbing un - reabsorbed tissue fluid. Eliminate.
• Lymphatic capillaries: Their function is to absorb tissue fluid (lymph) that isn't reabsorbed by blood capillaries and return it to the circulatory system. So this is correct.

Answer:

D. Lymphatic capillaries (assuming the options are labeled A - D with D being Lymphatic capillaries; if the original options had different labels, adjust the identifier but keep the text. Based on the given options, the correct one is "Lymphatic capillaries" among the provided choices.)
