Identify the correct definition for the term “lymphangion”
The segment of a lymph collector located between a proximal and distal pair of valves
A series of collectors located between the skin and lymph node
The area located around the lymph node
The muscle pumping action that occurs when fluid is moved proximal to distal
What is the name of the two veins that make up the “left venous angle”?

What are some of the complications of lymphedema?
Infection

There is no sure way to prevent lymphedema, but some things that may help include: 
Avoiding surgery to remove lymph nodes.
Early detection and treatment of cancer.
Avoiding radiation therapy to the lymphatic system.
Practicing good hygiene.
All of the above
How does the lymphatic system help to prevent infection?
By draining lymph from infected areas.
By filtering lymph for bacteria and other foreign particles.
By activating immune cells in the lymph nodes.
All of the above.
What is lymphedema?
A condition in which the lymphatic system is blocked by cancer cells.
A condition in which the lymphatic system is not able to produce enough lymph.
A condition in which the lymphatic system is not able to drain lymph properly.
A condition in which the lymphatic system is not able to filter lymph for bacteria and other foreign particles.
What are some of the symptoms of lymphedema?
Swelling in the affected limb.
Pain in the affected limb.
Redness in the affected limb.
Warmth in the affected limb.
All of the above.
What are some of the causes of lymphedema?
Surgery to remove lymph nodes.
Cancer.
Radiation therapy.
Infection.
All of the above.
There is no cure for lymphedema, but it can be managed with a variety of treatments, including: 
Exercise.
Compression garments.
Manual lymphatic drainage.
