How do villi help the lymphatic system?
Lacteals collect fats by absorbing chylomicrons (consisting of 90% triglycerides, 5% cholesterol, 4% phospholipids, 1% protein) in the small intestines and transports them to cardiovascular circulation. Chylomicrons travel through the lymphatic system via the thoracic duct to the bloodstream.

Yes. There is some controversy as to how it moves, but most experts agree that skeletal muscle movement plays a major role in the movement of lymphatic fluid. The two main areas of lymph flow are from the right upper quadrant of the body into the right lymphatic duct which drains into the right subclavian vein. The rest of the body, including the legs flow into the thoracic duct which drains into the left subclavian vein.

What happens if a lymphatic tissue is removed from an auxillary region?
The removal of the lymphatic tissue will reduce the immunity power as the lymphatic system is playing a major role in the immune response. This will not absorb the pathogens in so that the white blood cells could not destroy the pathogen present in the body. This will also be a major cause of breast cancer.
