∙ 9y agoThe lymphatic system controls the lymph flow. The lymph is commonly transported along the system of vessels and it does this by using muscle contractions.

Regulator of blood flow?
The medulla oblongatta of the brain stem is the cardiac center that controls blood flow.
Which device controls the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
Flow of electricity in a circuit is controlled by using 'resistor'.
Which part of your brain controls parts without you thinking about them?
your nerves, connected to your lymph and it also produces the chemical dopeamein when you are happy
What controls the flow of electric current?
EMF force or voltage
What does the human lymphatic system consists of?
There are two parts to the lymphatic system, the lymph vessels and the lymph nodes. The vessels carry excess interstitial fluid away to the vena cava just before it enters the heart. These vessels run through the lymph nodes. The nodes produce lymphocytes that piggyback the lymph flow to join the blood circulation.
In what direction does lymph flow?
The direction of lymph flow is always towards the Thoracic Lymph duct .
Is flow of lymph through lymph nodes fast or slow compared to blood capillaries?
The flow of lymph is slow because the lymphatic system has no pump.
What ensures slow flow of lymph?
The lymphatic system has no pump so the flow of lymph is slow. The contraction of surrounding muscles helps to make if flow.
What are located inside the lymph vessels to ensure that the flow of lymph is in the correct direction?
Valves are located in lymphatic vessels and ensure the flow of lymph only goes one way.
What is Lymph flow is hindered by?
Infections
What is the flow of lymph into and out of the lymph nodes?
Lymph travels in lymph vessels. There are varying sizes of lymph vessel, just like with blood vessels. The vessels generally are found just below the skin or in the deeper levels of the skin.
What do lymphatics flow through?
Lymph nodes
Does lymph flow only toward the heart?
Yes.
What structure ensures a slow flow of the lymph nodes?
Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
Does cold effect lymph flow?
Yes and no from experience... It's not so much the cold that effects the lymph but the effects the blood that helps the flow of lymph. Extreme changes in temp are quite painful for me in that the lymph nodes in my back fill creating pressure on the spine and severe nerve pain. So, yes anything that effects blood flow and breathing effect lymph flow. Try rebounding jumping up and down on a mini tramp. This increases the pressures by as mush as 15X and helps keep things moving.
What systems are involved in the flow of lymph fluid?
well the flow of lymph fluid is when your ateries are blocked up with flem, green GUNGY flem and it soaks up your insides and overpowers your feaces.
What group controls the flow of legislative work?
The Majority party selects the leaders of the body and controls the flow of legislative work and appoints committee chairs.
