Final answer:

Blood in veins and lymph in lymph vessels are not moved by the same kind of 'pumps.'

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Blood in veins and lymph in lymph vessels are not moved by the same kind of 'pumps.'
The cardiovascular system uses the heart as a pump to move blood through the arteries and veins. In contrast, the lymphatic system relies on the movements of the body, contractions of skeletal muscles, and external forces to circulate lymph through lymphatic vessels.
