Question

Transcribed Image Text:All of the following are true of the lymphatic
system, EXCEPT:
Lymphatic capillaries lie in close physical
proximity to arterial and venous capillaries
None of the other four answers (all are true
of the lymphatic system)
Lymph nodes are located at lymphatic
vessel junctions
It brings microbial antigens into contact with
immunologically active cells (lymphocytes
and macrophages)
Its only important function is to carry
interstitial fluid back to the circulatory
system

Transcribed Image Text:All of the following are true of antigen-presenting
cells (APCS) EXCEPT:
None of the other four answers (All are true
statements about APCs)
They include macrophages and dendritic
cells
APCs by themselves cannot distinguish
between different microbial antigens,
remember them later, or respond specifically
to them
They are non-specific cells and they play no
role in activating or triggering specific
immune responses
They can interact directly with lymphocytes
