What drains the lower right quadrant of the body?
a. left lymphatic duct
b. right venous angle
c. left venous angle
c. left venous angle
via the thoracic duct
Where do the afferent lymph vessels attach to the lymph node?
a. hilum
b. surface of node
b. surface of node
Germinal centers are NOT found in (the)
a. infants
b. adolescence
c. adults
d. elderly
a. infants
lymphatic nodules without germinal centers or an outer corona are primary nodules
Which of the following is FALSE about the paracortex (deep cortex)?
a. it has no lymphatic nodules
b. it has most of the T cells
c. it is thymus independent
c. it is thymus independent
it’s actually thymus dependent!
How do most lymphocytes enter a lymph node?
a. high endothelial venules
b. subcapsular sinus
a. high endothelial venules
What type of collagen are reticular fibers composed of?
a. collagen type 1
b. collagen type 2
c. collagen type 3
c. collagen type 3
Which of the following has the most T cells?
a. deep cortex
b. superficial cortex

a. deep cortex
What separates the capsule and the superficial cortex?
the meshwork of the subcapsular sinus
Which of the following aids in separating the reticular fibers from the lymphocytes to stop an autoimmune reaction?
a. dendritic cells
b. macrophages
c. follicular dendritic cells
d. reticular cells
d. reticular cells

b. the second pharyngeal pouch
c. the third pharyngeal pouch
