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.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
