B.

Systolic is the blood pressure measurement of the pressure wave (It's not actually the force of the heart pumping), during a contraction, or when blood is being pumped out of the ventricles. As the heart relaxes between contractions and fills with blood the resulting pressure wave is recorded as Diastolic. In most normal cases the systolic should be much higher the diastolic pressure.

The fluid that moves through the lymphatic vessels is called
nikitadnepr [17]
It is called Interstitial fluid. The Interstitial fluid that is collected by the Lymphatic Vessels. Once fluid enters the lymphatics it's called "Lymph." The lymphatic vessels (or lymph vessels or lymphatics) are thin-walled vessels structured like blood vessels, that carry lymph. As part of the lymphatic system, lymph vessels are complementary to the cardiovascular system. Lymph vessels are lined by endothelial cells, and have a thin layer of smooth muscle, and adventitia that bind the lymph vessels to the surrounding tissue. Lymph vessels are devoted to the propulsion of the lymph from the lymph capillaries, which are mainly concerned with absorption of interstitial fluid from the tissues. Lymph capillaries are slightly larger than their counterpart capillaries of the vascular system. Lymph vessels that carry lymph to a lymph node are called afferent lymph vessels, and those that carry it from a lymph node are called efferent lymph vessels, from where the lymph may travel to another lymph node, may be returned to a vein, or may travel to a larger lymph duct. Lymph ducts drain the lymph into one of the subclavian veins and thus return it to general circulation.

The right answer is protect the athlete from further injury.

The types of injuries to avoid can be both physical and psychological.

For physical injuries, the athlete must be transported delicately to the hospital, and provide good care and rehabilitation.

Injury, whether disabling (complete cessation of practice) or disabling (limitation of practice) can  generate, in some athletes, psychological difficulties (feelings of vulnerability, fear of recidivism, fear of not returning to their best level) and lead to the adoption of maladaptive behaviors (disinvestment or overinvestment, avoidance of confrontation).

Accompanying an injured athlete throughout the recovery process helps maintain self-esteem, motivation, and confidence in being able to return to the best level. It also helps to stimulate your commitment to the re-learning process and to help you learn from this experience
