lymphatic fluid dynamics

Lymphatic fluid dynamics involve the movement of lymph, a clear fluid that circulates through the lymphatic vessels. This fluid carries waste, toxins, and immune cells away from tissues towards the bloodstream. The flow is primarily driven by muscle contractions, pressure changes, and one-way valves within the lymph vessels, preventing backflow. Unlike blood, lymph doesn't have a central pump like the heart; instead, its movement relies on natural body movements and tissue pressures. Proper lymph flow maintains tissue health and supports immune function by ensuring efficient removal of debris and pathogens.
