Match the following parts of the lymphatic system with their functions:
Lymphatic capillaries = Collect excess tissue fluid from around cells and return it to the blood Lymph nodes = Filter foreign particles, cancer, and bacteria from the lymph.

The lymph moves along vessels very slowly Spleen = Destroys defective red blood cells and recognises antigens to help prevent disease

Match the following functions of the lymphatic system with their descriptions:
Transport = To absorb and transport fatty acids and glycerol via lacteals from the small intestine to skin or other organs for storage Defence = Phagocytic white blood cells in the lymph nodes filter the lymph, removing pathogens, cell debris and cancer cells Production = Lymph nodes produce and export B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes Drainage = Lymph vessels drain the lymph into larger tubes called lymph vessels

Match the following lymphocytes with their functions:
B-lymphocytes = Detect antigens such as viruses and produce antibodies against them T-lymphocytes = Responsible for the development and training of T-cells Phagocytic white blood cells = Filter the lymph, removing pathogens, cell debris and cancer cells Red blood cells = Destroyed by the spleen
