Answer:

A fluid that flows through the lymphatic system is called lymph. it travels when you breathe and move your muscles the lymph continuously get pushed towards the heart from the outer reaches of your body. if the lymphatic system didn't drain interstitial fluid then the lymph fluid would build up in the body's tissues, making them swell.
