🧬 High-Yield DAT Question of the Day – Biology
A lymph node is part of the body’s lymphatic system. Lymph vessels carry clear fluid called lymph, which leads to lymph nodes—small, round organs that trap harmful substances like cancer cells or bacteria.
Which term best describes the first lymph node(s) to which cancer cells are likely to spread from the primary tumor?
a) Primary Target site
b) Replicatory
c) Malignant
d) Sentinel
e) Distal
f) Proximal
✅ Correct Answer: D — Sentinel
The sentinel lymph node is the first node to which cancer is likely to spread from the tumor. Examining this node can help determine whether the cancer has metastasized and guide future treatment options.
🔬 This is one of the many high-yield questions we use to sharpen students' biology skills for the DAT.
