Question 1
what are some of the immune functions of the lymphatic system?
select one:
a. cleaning red blood cells from the blood and creating lymph fluids
b. transporting lymph to the tissues and creating lymph fluids
c. removing infectious agents and making white blood cells
d. making red blood cells and removing infectious agents
question 2
which list describes the composition of lymph?
select one:
a. lymphocytes, proteins, and fats
b. red blood cells, white blood cells, and fats
c. glucose, red blood cells, and fats
d. lipids, red blood cells, and lymphocytes
question 3
rebecca has a streptococcus bacterial infection. the back of her throat is inflamed on the left and right sides. what can the lymphatic system do to rebecca fight this infection?
select one:
a. the lymph vessels can transport the bacteria to immune system cells.
b. the tonsils can produce lymphocytes to fight the infection.
c. the blood vessels can drain the fluids to lower inflammation.
d. the thymus can drain the bacteria from the throat.
question 4
tammy's ankle has swelled due to an injury. what can the lymphatic system do to reduce the swelling in tammy's ankle?
select one:
a. lymph vessels can drain fluids from the ankle tissues.
b. lymph trunks can redirect fluid to the lymph nodes.
c. blood vessels can drain the fluids to the lymphatics.
d. lymph can move to the injury site and drain the fluid.

this is an unusually structured question. however, i would like to point out that regardless of this composition, none the less, the "lymphatic system" is comprised of lymph vessels (also known as lymph trunks- which are lymph vessels that carry lymph), lymph nodes, and organs. this system is responsible for carrying fluid, toxins, and other waste products to the "lymph nodes" before eliminating it completely from the body. with that being said your best answer would have to be d. lymph trunks can redirect fluid to the lymph nodes

this only refers to normal bodily functions and processes and does not refer to one who may have lymphatic obstruction (lymphedema).
