The Lymphatic System

 A lymphatic structure located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen is called ?

• Lymph
• Lymph fluid
• Spleen

The largest lymphatic structure is?

• Lymph
• tonsils
• Spleen

What part of the lymphatic system filters foreign material from blood and destroys old RBCs?

• spleen
• lymph nodes
• thymus 
• lymphatic vessels

The structure of a lymphatic vessel is most similar to that of a(n)

• Artery
• arteriole
• vein
• capillary

How is lymph moved through lymphatic vessels?

• Contractions of the small intestine
• Blood cells carry lymph through the vessels
• Contractions of the heart
• Contractions of skeletal muscle around the vessels

Two main organs of the lymph system:

• Thymus & Pancreas
• Pancreas & Thyroid
• Spleen & Thymus
• Tonsils & Thyroid

Which of the following is NOT a function of the lymphatic system?

• removes excess fluid from around organs
• absorbs/transports fats
• circulates blood
• produces white blood cells

A soft tissue inside the bone that produces blood cells

• immune cells
• lymph nodes
• spleen
• bone marrow

Which word best describes the relationship between the lymphatic system and the circulatory system?

• antagonistic
• complementary
• independent
• redundant

If the valves in the lymphatic vessels stopped working, how would this disrupt homeostasis in the body?

• Tissue fluid would flow backwards, potentially causing edema, or tissue fluid build-up
• It would have no effect, because muscle action would still keep fluid flowing
• There are no valves in the lymphatic vessels
• Tissue fluid would flow too quickly, causing a heart attack due to the increased fluid flow to the heart
