What is true regarding the lymphatic system?

1. A two-way transport system with fluids and cells moving in both directions
2. A continuous closed circulation running parallel to the arteries and veins
3. A one-way system collecting the lymph from body tissues and spaces and reintroducing it to the bloodstream
4. A one-way system collecting lymph from body spaces and soaking it into the body cells

The sinoatrial node is the normal pacemaker of the human heart because it:

1. can form action potentials that can spread throughout the rest of the heart
2. depolarizes to its threshold potential before other pacemakers in the heart
3. is located in the top of right atrial wall
4. is most likely to form an ectopic focus
