Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -That’s because the lymphatic system does not have an organ like the heart to pump fluid around your body. Lymph fluid relies on movement and the contraction of your muscles to make it flow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Movement of the lymph fluid through valves is caused by skeletal muscle contraction.
Detailed explanation-3: -As lymph capillaries collect interstitial fluid from tissues, the pressure in the lymph capillaries grows. This increasing pressure moves the lymph fluid forward toward the heart. Everywhere in your body, your lymphatic capillaries collect lymph and move it into larger lymphatic vessels.
