	basophils
	monocytes
	eosinophils
	neutrophils

	Because its a macrophage
	Because its a Plasma cell

	B cells

5 Reticular fibres are composed of type III collagen and secreted by reticular cells. Which of the following statements are correct about reticular fibres?

	Reticular fibres are very delicate and form fine networks instead of thick bundles.
	Reticular fibres give support to individual cells.
	Reticular fibres stain black in silver stained preparations.
	Reticular fibres form open meshwork's allowing the exchange of substances and cell movement.

6

7 Which of the following sequences best describes the pathway of lymph fluid through a lymph node

	Subcapsular sinus -> Paratrabecular sinus -> Medullary sinus -> Efferent vessel
	Subcapsular sinus -> Paratrabecular sinus -> Medullary sinus -> Afferent vessel
	Subcapsular sinus -> High endothelial venule -> Medullary sinus -> Thoracic duct
	Subcapsular sinus -> Medullary sinus -> Paratrabecular sinus -> Hilum vessel

8
Which of the following descriptions best describes the function of High endothelial venules?
