Question

6 true or false 2 points
the lymphatic system returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood.
true
false

7 multiple choice 2 points
new cells are generated through ______ which generates ______ daughter cells.
meiosis ; four identical
meiosis ; two identical
mitosis ; four unique
mitosis ; two identical

8 multiple choice 2 points
what is the driving force for pulmonary ventilation flow?
pressure gradient
electrochemical gradient
temperature gradient

Explanation:

Analyze Question 6

The lymphatic system's primary function is to collect excess interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins from tissue spaces and return them to the cardiovascular system.

Analyze Question 7

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid gametes.

Analyze Question 8

Pulmonary ventilation (breathing) is driven by bulk flow, which occurs due to a pressure gradient created between the atmosphere and the alveoli by the contraction and relaxation of respiratory muscles.
