| One day in Paris, Jack and John Ray were talking about the transport of lymph. |
|
 | It says here that the movement of lymph is dependent upon outside forces. | |
|
| Duhh...I already know that. God, this guy's dumb. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| These forces are the contractions of skeletal muscles and respiratory movements. | |
|
| Yup, they're the same forces that aid the return of venous blood to the heart. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The contraction of skeletal muscles comperesses the lymphatic vessels forcing lymph from one valved segment to another. This is especially important in the arms and lungs. | |
|
| Respiratory movements enable the movement of lymph in vessels within the thorax and abdomen. | |
