Which of the following mechanisms is NOT used to propel lymph through lymphatic vessels? Lymphatic drainage from a capillary bed to the venous circulation. pulmonary motion the milking action of muscles small, heart-like pumps gravity

Answer 1

small heart-like pumps

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no straight forward pumping activity or opertion in the lymphatic system (it is a group of tissues and organs that aid the elimination of toxins, waste and other unwanted molecules from the body. It helps to move lymph,all through the body). Movement of fluid is reliant on certain basic determinants, for example, gravity and body movement.

The flow of breathing and pressure varies in the thorax and can help with the flow of fluid in the lymphatic vessels.

Therefore,
