Question

The movement of fluid through the lymphatic vessel is assisted by

Answer 1

• As we know that the lymphatic vessel is assisted by the pressure changes in the thorax during respiration.
• The movement of fluid through the lymphatic vessel is also assisted by contraction of skeletal muscle,  compression of lymphatic vessels, contraction of smooth muscle in the lymph vessel.

• We know that lymph capillaries feed into larger lymph vessels.

• Collecting vessels are the vessels that receive lymph fluid from many capillaries.
• We know the muscle contractions help push the lymph fluid upwards.

 

Answer 2

• Lymph capillaries feed larger lymph veins.
• Lymph veins that collect lymph fluid from a significant number of capillaries are known as collecting vessels.
• Semilunar valves help to drive lymph fluid forward while preventing backflow by combining smooth muscle contractions with skeletal muscle pressure.
• The lymphatic vessel is assisted by the pressure changes in the thorax during respiration.
• The lymph fluid is pushed upwards by muscle contractions, and the lymph fluid is kept from flowing backwards by valves.
