Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph flows in one direction toward the heart. Lymph nodes are most densely distributed toward the center of the body, particularly around the neck, intestines, and armpits. Lymph vessels and nodes are not found within bone or nervous system tissue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph: Lymph, also called lymphatic fluid, is a collection of the extra fluid that drains from cells and tissues (that is not reabsorbed into the capillaries) plus other substances.
Detailed explanation-3: -Similar to other organs, the heart relies on cardiac lymphatics to drain tissue fluid in order to maintain the steady-state interstitial fluid equilibrium. Myocardial contractions help to propel cardiac lymphatic flow.
