Question

why do lymph not carry oxygen?

Answer 1

The oxygen is carried only by the RBC s ( Red Blood Corpuscles ) of the blood .

____________________________________________________

Lymph cannot carry oxygen because :-

• Lymph cannot absorb the oxygen. RBC s absorb oxygen due to their large surface area and small size. RBC s have haemoglobin that actually absorb oxygen. But Lymph cannot absorb oxygen like the RBC s as they dont have haemoglobin .This is the chief reason to your question

• Moreover Lymph can escape through the blood vessels and baths the tissues.Under these circumstances ,if lymph carried oxygen ,then who would provide oxygen to the organs when the lymph has escaped?

Hope it helps you:-)
