Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lymphatic circulation is closely associated with the venous side of the circulation, as it works alongside the veins to transport excess fluid and proteins from tissues back to the bloodstream.

Answer: B
 The lymphatic vessels generally run alongside arteries and veins and do not closely accompany the aorta and its branches.

Answer: C
 The lymphatic circulation is not directly involved in the transport of oxygen, as its primary function is the removal of excess fluid and waste products from tissues.

Answer: D
 The lymphatic system is not directly involved in hemostasis (blood clotting), but it does play a role in the immune response by transporting immune cells and antibodies throughout the body.
