Detailed explanation-1: -Fluid that is forced out of the bloodstream during normal circulation is filtered through lymph nodes to remove bacteria, abnormal cells and other matter. This fluid is then transported back into the bloodstream via the lymph vessels. Lymph only moves in one direction, toward the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similar to other organs, the heart relies on cardiac lymphatics to drain tissue fluid in order to maintain the steady-state interstitial fluid equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph flows in the body through its intercellular spaces into the capillaries at the base of the neck. The lymphatic system does not have the circulatory system like the heart to send it in all directions. Lymph flows in one direction only i.e, from tissues to the heart.
