Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contractions of skeletal muscles aid in the movement of lymphatic fluid. When muscles contract, they squeeze the lymphatic vessels in the surrounding area, causing the lymphatic fluid to move through the vessels. The beating of the heart and pulsations within nearby veins and capillaries may indirectly help with lymphatic fluid movement, but they are not direct aids. Beating of cilia within lymphatic vessels is not a mechanism of lymphatic fluid movement.
