Which of the Following is Not True of Lymph Nodes

Question

Which of the following is not true of lymph nodes?
A) The lymph node filters the lymph to remove bacteria.
B) There are more afferent vessels bringing lymph into the node than efferent vessels carrying lymph away from the node.
C) There are more efferent vessels carrying lymph away from the node than afferent vessels bringing lymph to the node.
D) Lymph passes through spaces called sinuses.

Accepted Answer

The statement "There are more efferent vessels carrying lymph away from the node than afferent vessels bringing lymph to the node" is not true. In fact, there are more afferent vessels bringing lymph into the node than efferent vessels carrying lymph away from the node. This allows for thorough filtration and processing of lymph as it flows through the node.
