Lymph: fluid within lymphatic vessels
1. Made of water & dissolved substances
(that had left blood capillaries by filtration and diffusion)
2.Includes small, dissolved proteins that had also leaked from capillaries
Forces that propel lymph through lymphatic vessels:
- skeletal muscle contractions
- breathing movements
- contraction of smooth muscle in walls of lymphatic trunks
(movement similar to venous movement)

What does the lymphatic system do?
he main function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph fluid throughout the body, which in turn helps with the functions of the immune system.

How does lymph move through the lymph vessels without a pump?
Lymph is moved through the lymph vessels by surrounding muscles contracting and relaxing, which creates pressure changes that help propel the lymph forward. Additionally, one-way valves within the lymph vessels prevent the backflow of lymph, helping to maintain the flow.
How can the removal of enlarged lymph nodes for microscopic examination aid in diagnosing certain diseases?
the lymph system is the body's primary defense against infection. certain components produce and transport cells and protein that help rid the body of infection and they include the spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels.
Does the lymphatic system produce hormones and enzymes?
No, the lymphatic system is (to the best of current knowledge) strictly a transportation system for lymph that runs parallel to the cardiovascular system.

Lymph and mechanisms of lymph transport?
Lymph is a tissue that diffuses into the lymphatic capillaries
What does lymph transport depend on to function?
Lymph transport depends on the movement of adjacent tissues, such as skeletal muscles.
What is the mechanism that aids lymph return?
valves
What is lymph channels?
Lymph channels-- The vessels that transport lymph throughout the body. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains cells important in forming antibodies that fight infection.
Why are the the lymph vessels needed in our body?

Lymph enters a node through what kind of lymphatic vessel?
Afferent lymphatic vessels bring lymph into a lymph node. These vessels help transport lymph, which contains immune cells and waste products, into the node for filtering and processing.
