Question

When a pathogen enters a lymph node, immature lymphocytes located in cell clusters respond to the pathogen by undergoing differentiation and maturation into functional B and T cells. These cell clusters are called A.capsule B.sinuses C.trabeculae D.cortex E.germinal centers

Answer 1

Lymphatic System Functions

1. Return Interstitial fluid back to the bloodstream

2. Production and maturation of lymphocytes

3. Generates an immune response

- it eliminates water that congests tissues

-- every day, blood circulation releases large amounts of liquid into the body's tissues.

-- the vessels in the lymphatic system, collect this liquid and keep the tissues from swelling

drains and cleanses about 3 litres of water

passes through small clusters of organs along the vessels: Lymph nodes

Comprised of:

1. Interstitial fluid

2. Solutes

3. Foreign materials

contains number of solutes
