What are facts about the lymphatic sysytem?
The lymphatic system is responsible for removing cell waste. The waste liquids are pumped throughout the body indirectly by the heart. Lymph nodes function as the filters of a lymphatic system.
What kind of blood vessels are helped by the contracting of skeletal muscules?
That would be the lymphatic vessels. The lymphatic system is not directly tied to the main circulatory system and thus is not pumped through the body. So without a regular flow of the lymph, movement of the body helps the lymph to flow. Very few animals utilize a separate lymphatic heart to pump lymph, and that does not include human beings.
Are lymphatic and lymph the same thing?
No, lymphatic refers to the system of vessels, organs, and nodes involved in the production and circulation of lymph. Lymph is a fluid that is carried by the lymphatic system, containing white blood cells and waste products.
What organs are found in the lymphatic system?
Lymph vessels,lymph nodes,spleen,
What describes how lymph flows through the lymphatic system?
Skeletal muscles squeeze the lymph through lymph vessels. Valves in the vessels prevent backflow
What describes constituent components of the human lymphatic system?

What system assists the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?
The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from tissues. The lymph system is a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph system is a major part of the body's immune system.
What two structures does the lymphatic system lack?
The lymphatic system lacks a central pump, such as the heart in the circulatory system, to move lymph fluid. It also lacks a closed system of vessels, as lymph can flow in either direction through the lymphatic vessels.
How does lymph return to the cardiovascular system?
When blood travels through the capillaries in the cardiovascular system, some fluids leak out and move into the lymphatic system. This system is a carrier of vein-like vessels delivering the fluids back to the bloodstream. Once inside of the lymphatic system, this fluid is called lymph. Glucose, water, and white blood cells are consistent in lymph. Lymph moves through the lymphatic system passing through knobs of tissue called lymph nodes. These lymph nodes filter bacteria and other disease-causing microorganisms. Lymph nodes enlarge when fighting off an infection.
What organ system are the lymph glands in?
The thymus is part of the Lymphatic system
Where does lymph originate from?
Lymph originates from the interstitial fluid that surrounds tissues and organs in the body. This fluid is collected by lymphatic vessels and transported through the lymphatic system, eventually forming lymph.
Where was lymph before it entered the lymphatic system?
lymph node
