Question

You step on something in the yard resulting in a puncture wound that does not bleed freely. Antigens from any microbes that entered the wound will most likely end up in the

A) lymph nodes of the groin.
B) lymph nodes of the neck (cervical).
C) appendix.
D) spleen.

Answer 1

The antigens from microbes that enter a puncture wound that doesn't bleed freely are likely to end up in the lymph nodes of the groin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The antigens from any microbes that enter a puncture wound in your yard and do not bleed freely are most likely to end up in the lymph nodes of the groin.

After entering the wound, the bacteria move to the lymph nodes where they are ingested by phagocytes. The lymph nodes act as filters, capturing and processing antigens, providing information to nearby lymphocytes about potential pathogens. In this case, the groin lymph nodes would be the ones involved.
