The correct answer is: D) Lymph transport depends on the movement of adjacent tissues, such as skeletal muscles.
The lymphatic system is an open system which primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, (similar to the circulatory system's veins and capillaries) interrupted by lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered. Since there is no central pump in lymphatic system (like heart in circulatory system) lymph transport, is slow and sporadic. Lymph movement occurs due to:
• peristalsis (contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle tissue),
