What is the role of the lymphatic system in maintaining fluid balance within the body?
What is the role of the lymphatic system in maintaining fluid balance within the body?
- To return excess interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the bloodstream. (correct)
- To regulate blood pressure by absorbing excess fluid from tissues.
- To filter waste products from the bloodstream.
- To transport oxygen and nutrients to cells.

Study Notes
Section A
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body.
- Physiology is the study of the function of the body.
- Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals across a chemical synapse, such as Acetylcholine and Norepinephrine.
- The universal blood donor is O negative.
- A synapse is a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.
- The Rh factor, also known as the Rhesus factor, is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells, where Rh positive blood has the protein, and Rh negative blood lacks the protein.
- The main functions of the lymphatic system include maintaining fluid balance and immunity.
- The pigment present in rod cells is rhodopsin and the pigment present in cone cells is cone photopigments.
- The bones present in the ear are the malleus, incus, and stapes.
- Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute.
- The powerhouse of the cell is the mitochondrion.
Section B
- Draw a well-labeled diagram of the plasma membrane and explain transport mechanisms across the plasma membrane.
- Classify the skeletal system and discuss the structure and function of the vertebral column.
- Define blood coagulation and describe in detail the different stages involved in blood coagulation.
Section C
- Explain the anatomy of the heart with a well-labeled diagram.
- Explain the physiology of hearing in detail.
