Lymph vessels do not transport ________.
A
proteins
B
lymphocytes
C
fats
D
red blood cells
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the function of lymph vessels. Lymph vessels are part of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for transporting lymph—a fluid containing white blood cells, especially lymphocytes, and other substances such as fats and proteins.
Step 2: Recall that red blood cells are primarily transported by the circulatory system (via blood vessels) and are not part of the lymphatic system. This distinction is key to answering the question.
Step 3: Review the components typically found in lymph. Lymph contains lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), proteins, and fats absorbed from the digestive system, but it does not contain red blood cells.
Step 4: Compare the options provided in the question. Proteins, lymphocytes, and fats are all transported by lymph vessels, while red blood cells are not.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'red blood cells,' as they are transported by blood vessels, not lymph vessels.
