Which term is defined as 'Carry lymph away from lymph nodes'?

• A. Efferent Lymph Vessels
• B. Lymphatic Homeostasis
• C. Tissue Fluid
• D. Lymphatic System Functions

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is the direction of lymph flow through a lymph node. Lymph enters a node through afferent lymph vessels to be filtered, and it leaves the node via efferent lymph vessels, which carry lymph away from the lymph node. So the term that means “carry lymph away from lymph nodes” is efferent lymph vessels. This differs from general concepts like tissue fluid (the fluid before it becomes lymph) or broad ideas about lymphatic system functions, and from nonstandard terms like lymphatic homeostasis, which don’t specify the directional vessel involved.
