Lymphatic Vessels Pass in and Out of the Spleen at the ________

Question

Lymphatic vessels pass in and out of the spleen at the ________.
A) red pulp
B) hilus
C) white pulp
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

Lymphatic vessels pass into and out of the spleen at the hilus, which is the area where the blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the spleen. The red pulp and white pulp are regions within the spleen, but they do not have a direct connection to the lymphatic vessels entering and leaving the organ.
