 | ANSWER KEY  |

           Other  Answers may also be possible in some questions

      1) 

           a)     A. Tonsils     B. Thymus gland      C. Spleen     D. Bone marrow

               

          b)  i) Lymphatic vessels    ii) Lymph nodes        iii) Thymus gland     

                iv) Spleen           v) Tonsils

          c)   

               i) Returns tissue fluid back to the blood

              ii) Filtration and removal of foreign harmful substances from the lymph fluid

              iii) Transport of absorbed fatty acids and glycerol from the small intestine

               iv) Protects the body against diseases by producing lymphocytes

    2)

         i) Tonsils - traps and prevent microbes entering the body through the nose 

                           and mouth

         ii) Thymus gland - site of maturation of T-lymphocytes (T-cells)

         iii) Spleen - filters blood from microbes, destroys worn out RBCs, 

                      activation of lymphocytes

         iv) Lymph nodes - filtration of lymph fluid, storage and activation of T- cells and

               B-cells

    3) Thymosin hormone stimulate the maturation of T-lymphocytes (T- cells) in the 

            thymus  gland

     

     4) 

           i) Muscular contractions (contraction of skeletal muscles)

           ii) Pressure changes during breathing in and out 

    

     5)

          a) Tissue fluid or interstitial fluid 

           b) 1. Glucose, 2. Oxygen, 3. Salts, 4. Amino acids, 4. Fatty acids

           c) Hydrostatic pressure

            d) 

                 - Blood plasma is the liquid part of the blood within the blood vessels.

                     Blood plasma contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose, amino acids, salts,                           hormones, plasma proteins, etc.

                   - Tissue fluid is the fluid found between cells of the tissues.

                       Tissue fluid contains all the components of the blood plasma, except plasma                              proteins.

                   Short Answer: Tissue fluid lacks plasma proteins, while blood plasma contains                             plasma   proteins.

              

                 e) Osmotic pressure 

                 f)    1. Carbon dioxide   2. Urea

                 g)  

                        (i) Lymphatic vessel  

  

                       (ii) Lymphatic vessel transports excess tissue fluid remained in the cellular                                    spaces in the  form of lymph fluid and return back to the blood                                                  circulation after filtration.

                                 (Lymphatic vessel returns lymph fluid to the blood circulation)
