Question
what filters the lymph as it travels through the body? blood vessels lymph nodes muscle tissue
Lymph nodes are small, bean - shaped structures that filter lymph fluid. They contain immune cells (such as lymphocytes) that help to remove pathogens (like bacteria, viruses) and cellular debris from the lymph. Blood vessels are involved in the circulation of blood, not specifically in filtering lymph. Muscle is a tissue type that is mainly involved in movement and generating force. Tissue is a general term for a group of cells with a similar function, and while lymph nodes are a type of tissue (lymphoid tissue), the more specific and correct answer for the filtering of lymph is lymph nodes.
