The flow of lymph is slow because the lymphatic system has no pump.
Lymph moves in one direction to prevent pathogens from flowing through the entire body. the system filters out microorganisms as the lymph passes through the various capillaries, vessels, and nodes.
from interstitial spaces towards the heart through lymphatic capillaries to lympahtic vessels then to lymphatic nodes then to the right lymphatic duct once in the venous blood, the lymph is then recycled through the body through the circulatory system
No, lymph is not blood that diffuses to cells at capillaries. Instead, lymph is a clear fluid that originates from interstitial fluid, which is the fluid that surrounds cells after nutrients and oxygen are delivered by blood. Lymph is collected by lymphatic vessels and plays a key role in the immune system and fluid balance, while blood itself circulates through the cardiovascular system.

lymphatic capillaries are very permeable Lymphatic capillaries have valves that keep fluid from flowing backward. The blood capillaries are regulated by smooth muscle. Lymphatic capillaries are also a but larger than blood capillaries.
yes it does!
The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries.... interstitial space or interstitial fluid..... lymphatic capillaries.... lymphatic vessels.... lymphatic ducts..... junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Then what helps this whole sequence is the skeletal muscle pump and the respiratory pump.
Blood passes through capillaries as a means of either passing products to the cells or picking up things from the cells. The small intestine is where most digestion takes place so the capillaries pick up digested material to take to the liver via the portal system. The digested fat is picked up by the lymph capillaries, lacteals, which returns to the blood when the lymph connects to the right and left subclavians.
Lymph is formed when interstitial fluid and proteins from the tissues enter lymphatic vessels through lymph capillaries. This fluid is then transported through lymphatic vessels and filtered through lymph nodes before ultimately re-entering the blood circulation through the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct.
increased osmotic pressure in blood capillaries.
The fluids in the blood leak through the capillaries and into the surrounding tissue. After the cells are bathed the fluid moves into the the lymphatic system. It is then returned into the bloodstream
