	They can only leave the bloodstream at specific locations

Question 7

Your answer	Choice
	Closed systems reduce problems of swelling by increasing circulation
	Closed systems have higher pressure and more directed flow, so they are faster at delivering oxygen to tissues
	Closed systems deliver more water to different tissues

Question 9

Your answer	Choice
	Adaptive immune systems have a memory, which helps fight off repeat invaders faster
