Chapter 33.5, Problem 1CSC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The function of lymphatic system other than absorbing all the intestinal fluid that leaks from capillaries and return it to bloodstream.
Introduction:
Lymphatic system is the network of tissue and organs that help in removing the toxic substances from the body and also acts as a circulatory system that helps in the draining of fluid from the vessels. The lymphatic system is made up of network of lymphatic vessels and secondary lymphoid organs.

Several years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.
Match the names of the blood cells in column B with their descriptions in column A. Some names are used more than once. Column A Column B(1) destroys parasites (a) erythrocyte(2) has two types of granules (b) neutrophil(3) does not use diapedesis (c) eosinophil(4) stops the allergic response (d) basophil (e) lymphocyte (f) monocyte (5) the only cell that is not spherical (6) granulocyte that phagocytizes bacteria (7) the largest blood cell (8) granulocyte with the smallest granules…
Can you please pick the right answer in each parentheses?
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the blood vessel wall, and begins with accumulation of ["white blood cells, LDL and VLDL beneath the endothelium", "platelets and clotting factors"], a phase known as "fatty streak".
Progression involves the presence of inflammatory cells, as well as the ["proliferation", "apoptosis"] of ["endothelial cells", "smooth muscle cells"] .
