Question

Which of the following is not a function of the lymphatic system?
A) Collect and return interstitial fluid.
B) Circulate blood from the heart to the organs of the body.
C) Defend the body against disease by producing lymphocytes.
D) Absorb lipids from the intestine and transport them to the blood.

Accepted Answer

Circulating blood from the heart to the organs of the body is the function of the circulatory system, not the lymphatic system. The other options, such as collecting and returning interstitial fluid, defending the body against disease, and absorbing lipids from the intestine and transporting them to the blood, are all functions of the lymphatic system.
