Answer :-

The following are the facts regarding the Lymphatic system :-

• In addition to the blood vascular system, all vertebrates posses a lymphatic system.

• Basically, Lymph can be defined as Blood without Red Blood Cells (RBCs).

• Lymph is a clear, colourless fluid.

• Lymph is similar to plasma but, it consists of much less amount of protein than that of plasma.

• The most important centre for the formation of Lymph is the "Intestinal space".

• Lymph vessels unite to form larger lymph vessels which ultimately drain into two large vessels known as the "Thoracic duct" and the "Right lymphatic duct".

• The movement of lymph is mainly due to the squeezing action of the surrounding muscles. For this, there is no presence of a pumping organ like the "Heart".

• Lymphatic circulation is slow and uncertain.

• Physical exercise increases the rate of circulation of lymph in the body.
