    The human lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining internal balance by transporting excess fluid, filtering harmful substances, and supporting immune responses. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic network does not rely on a central pump; instead, it depends on muscle movement and pressure changes to propel lymph throughout the body. Lymph nodes, positioned strategically along lymphatic vessels, act as biological checkpoints where pathogens are identified and neutralised. Disruptions in this system can lead to a condition known as lymphoedema, characterised by abnormal fluid accumulation and persistent swelling, usually in the limbs. Left unmanaged, lymphoedema may impair mobility and increase susceptibility to infections. Early diagnosis is therefore essential, as timely intervention can significantly slow the progression of symptoms. Health experts emphasise that regular physical activity, adequate hydration, and proper limb care all contribute to a healthier lymphatic function. Additionally, avoiding tight clothing, which may restrict lymph flow, helps maintain natural circulation. As awareness grows, individuals are encouraged to monitor changes in their body and seek guidance whenever swelling or discomfort persists.

    According to the passage, which practice supports healthy lymphatic function ?

    Show answer

    Correct option: C — Drinking enough water and staying active

    Drinking enough water and staying active The passage states that regular physical activity and proper hydration support the lymphatic system. These actions help maintain natural fluid movement and overall function.

    The evolution of aviation has profoundly transformed human mobility, redefining perceptions of distance and time. Initial attempts, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s conceptual sketches and 18th-century hot air balloons, provided rudimentary insights into the principles of flight but were largely experimental. It was the Wright brothers, with their powered Flyer in 1903, who truly demonstrated controlled, sustained flight, ushering in the era of modern aviation. The 20th century witnessed rapid advancements: piston-engine planes evolved into jet aircraft, dramatically enhancing speed, range, and payload capacities. Milestones such as the introduction of supersonic transport, epitomized by Concorde in 1976, symbolized human ingenuity in overcoming aerodynamic and engineering challenges. Today, innovations like autonomous drones and electric aircraft aim to revolutionize both commercial and military aviation, promising enhanced efficiency and sustainability. Yet, beyond technological marvels, airplanes have reshaped societies, enabling globalization, cultural exchange, and economic interconnectivity. The chronicle of aviation progress illustrates a continuous pursuit of mastery over the skies, where each transformative innovation mirrors broader patterns of human curiosity, ambition, and adaptation.
