Question

multiple choice question
lymph leaving the lymph nodes contains a large number of ______.

• eosinophils
• lymphocytes
• platelets
• erythrocytes

Explanation:

Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system and are involved in immune responses. Lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) are produced, mature, or activated in lymph nodes. When lymph leaves the lymph nodes, it carries a large number of lymphocytes to help fight infections. Eosinophils are more involved in allergic responses and parasitic infections, platelets are for blood clotting, and erythrocytes (red blood cells) are mainly in blood, not lymph in large numbers from lymph nodes.

Answer:

B. lymphocytes
