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 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.
Axial flow turbomachines?
These are machines dealing with fluids, like (Axial Compressors, pumps and Fans). the term "Axial" is given due to the direction of inward and outward flow. In axial turbo machines the direction of outward flow is the same as the direction of the inward flow since the blades of the machines doesn't change the direction of flow.
The vessel with valves that keep blood from flowing in the right direction?
Veins have valves to make sure that blood flows in only one direction.
What direction does the energy flow in the ecosystem?
From the sun to plants to herbivores to carnivores to the earth.
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 lymph vessel structures keeps the lymph flow going in one direction?
there are valves in the vessels that prevents backflow, just like in the viens
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?

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.

flow to
What do lymphatics flow through?
Lymph nodes
Does lymph flow only toward the heart?
Yes.

In which direction does the river shannon flow?
in which direction does the river Shannon flow?
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.
