Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
The lymph fluid is filtered in the lymph node to remove pathogens before returning it the bloodstream. The liver is responsible for breaking down old red blood cells. Lymphocytes are not made in lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter lymph fluid before returning it the blood.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The dorsalis pedis pulses may be felt on the medial side of the dorsum of the foot.
