Answers

heat is conserved by:
efferent lymphatic vessels
Lymph leaves a lymph node via

megakaryocytes
which cells form platelets in the red bone marrow?
veins
the blood vessel type bringing blood from the lungs to the heart
epiglottis
air and food are routed into the proper channels by:
high
when analyzing a blood sample, lab workers usually look for white blood cells with an abnormally
_______ count to indicate that there may be various types of infections
