yes it is
In your blood from your arteries flows into your capillaries. Most of that returns to your heart through your heart. Some returns through the lymph system. The lymph system carries lymph or a fraction of your blood through your system checking for pathogens. It brings them to the lymph nodes. The nodes check the lymph for infection. If the lymph nodes find infection, they start producing antibodies against the infection and inform the rest of the body that infection exist. They sometimes become inflamed when they collect bacteria faster than they can destroy it. Still, they stop it rather than let it go on through the body. They let the lymph go from the lymph nodes back to the veins and back to the heart to recirculate.

Lymph is a fluid. It flows through the lymphatic vessels by one way valves which allows lymph move way through lymphatic system. Subclavian suction, and skeletal muscle pumps help to propel the lymph through the lymphatic vessels.
