Which of the following is not a function of lymph nodes

Produce lymph fluid and cerebro spinal fluid

TRUE or FALSE. The lymphatic capillaries function to absorb the excess protein containing interstitial fluid and return to bloodstream.

True

TRUE or FALSE. Lymphatic capillaries are permeable to proteins

True

TRUE or FALSE. All lymphoid organs develop from mesoderm

False

TRUE or FALSE. Because lymph vessels are very low pressure conduits, movements of adjacent tissues are important in propelling lymph through the lymphatic

True

TRUE or FALSE. All the lymphoid organs are well developed before birth

False

TRUE or FALSE. When tissues are inflamed, lymphatic capillaries develop openings that permit uptake of large particles such as cells debris, pathogens, and cancer cells

True

TRUE or FALSE. All lymphatic organs are composed of epithelial tissue.

False

TRUE or FALSE. The most important role of spleen is to provide a site for lymphocyte proliferation and immune surveillance and response

False
