Explanation:
The lymphatic system, like the circulatory system, fulfills very important roles, and it consists also of a system of vessels of smooth muscle, and valves, that ensure that lymph, the fluid carried by the lymphatic system, reaches all organs and tissues. Because the lymphatic system serves in immunity as it carries lymphocites, it aids in draining excess fluid from the circulatory system and interstitial spaces, and also aids in the correct absorption and usage of fats, from the GI tract, this system needs to have access to all tissues, organs and systems. In order to do so, it is constituted by a series of vessels, just like veins, built from smooth muscle and with valves, that allow them to propel lymph towards the neck, where the system joins the circulatory system. Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and pressure changes in the thorax, as well as compression of lymphatic vessels, all of these help in propeling lymph in its correct trip upwards, from feet, to neck.
