Lymph and Its Circulation

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Lymph is fluid that leaves the bloodstream into tissues, is collected by lymphatic vessels, and is returned to the bloodstream.

Show

Lymph travels in one direction only, toward the heart.

Watch for

The lymphatic system has no pump. Movement depends on muscle activity and vessel valves.
