Question

question 10 1.67 pts considering the bulk flow that occurs at capillary beds, the lymphatic system is needed to filter additional fluid to the interstitial fluid. connect arterioles to venules and provide a shunt from the true capillaries. reabsorb excess fluid from the interstitial fluid. regulate colloid osmotic pressure so that filtration levels do not decline.

Explanation:

The lymphatic system functions to collect and reabsorb excess interstitial fluid that is not reabsorbed by the capillaries during bulk - flow at capillary beds. It does not filter additional fluid to the interstitial fluid, connect arterioles to venules as a shunt, or regulate colloid osmotic pressure for filtration levels.

Answer:

reabsorb excess fluid from the interstitial fluid.
