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.
