SECTION 1: Lymphatic System Overview (Questions 1-15)
1. What is the primary function of the lymphatic system?

C) To produce red blood cells
D) To regulate body temperature
The lymphatic system's major functions are to return lost fluid to the bloodstream and to
protect the body (immunity) .
2. What is the fluid called once it leaks out of blood capillaries and is picked up by
lymphatic vessels?
A) Blood plasma
B) Interstitial fluid
C) Lymph
D) Chyle
Fluid that originates from blood plasma and leaks out of blood capillaries becomes
extracellular fluid; once picked up by lymphatic vessels, it is called lymph .
3. How does the lymphatic system differ from the circulatory system in terms of
vessel structure?
A) Lymphatic vessels are "blind-ended" (open at one end), while blood vessels form a
closed loop
B) Both systems are closed loops
C) Lymphatic vessels have thicker walls
D) Lymphatic vessels lack valves
, Lymphatic vessels are not a closed loop; they have "blind ends" representing their starting
points, unlike the closed circulatory system .
5. Which structure is the largest lymphatic vessel?
A) Right lymphatic duct
B) Thoracic duct
C) Cisterna chyli
D) Subclavian vein
