Yes. There is some controversy as to how it moves, but most experts agree that skeletal muscle movement plays a major role in the movement of lymphatic fluid. The two main areas of lymph flow are from the right upper quadrant of the body into the right lymphatic duct which drains into the right subclavian vein. The rest of the body, including the legs flow into the thoracic duct which drains into the left subclavian vein.
Not unless your capillaries are diseased. Lymph is created in the capillary beds, blood enters the capillaries at a higher pressure than it leaves them. This means something has to leave them. Small molecules and amino acids can fit through them but red blood cells are too big, so they stay in the vascular system
The lymph system is separate from the blood system, therefore, it has no blood cells or platelets in it.

The lymph eventually enters the circulation by draining into two specific?
veins
Lymph returns to the venous circulation by way of what?
left thoracic duct
What is body fluid circulation?
Blood and lymph these are the two circulating fluids
The name of the vessels through which lymph finally rejoins general circulation is called?
The vessels through which lymph finally rejoins the general circulation are called lymphatic ducts or lymphatic vessels. These ducts empty lymph into the bloodstream near the neck.
Where is lymph returned to once it is collected?
lymphatic capillaries
What is the driving force for lymph movement?
The primary driving force for lymph movement is the contraction of surrounding skeletal muscles, which compress lymphatic vessels and push lymph along. Additionally, breathing movements and pulsations of nearby arteries help facilitate lymph circulation.
How is lymph excreted?
Lymph is filtered and cleansed by the lymph nodes.
What is the only lymphatic organ with afferent vessels?
The lymph nodes are the only lymphatic organ with afferent vessels. Afferent vessels carry lymph fluid into the lymph nodes, where it is filtered and processed before being returned to circulation through efferent vessels.
Within which structures in humans are bacteria and dead cells removed from lymph?
Bacteria and dead cells are removed from lymph within lymph nodes, which are small bean-shaped structures located along the lymphatic vessels. Lymph nodes contain immune cells that help filter and eliminate these harmful substances from the lymph fluid before it is returned to the blood circulation.
Does skeletal muscle contractions assist lymph circulation?
u should now this sooo...dont rely on answers.com
What is lymphokenesis?
There are two possible meanings: movement of endolymph in the semicircular canals (in the inner ears) or the circulation of lymph in the body.
