Lymph circulation

The lymphatic system plays an important role in the human body by facilitating the movement of lymph and removing waste from tissues. Lymphatic circulation is one of the main mechanisms for maintaining health and fighting infections.

The lymphatic fluid that is produced in the tissues is carried into the lymphatic vessels, which form a network throughout the body. This fluid contains proteins, fats and other waste products that must be removed from the body.

The movement of lymph through the vessels occurs due to the contraction of the vessel walls and negative pressure in the chest cavity. In addition, lymphatic circulation is stimulated by muscle contraction and the presence of valves that prevent the backflow of lymph.

The importance of the lymphatic system to human health is due to the role it plays in maintaining immunity, removing waste, and removing toxins from the body. Disorders in the lymphatic circulation can lead to various diseases such as lymphedema and lymphoma.

Various methods can be used to improve lymphatic circulation, such as exercise, massage, lymphatic drainage massage and the use of special massage devices. It is also important to monitor your diet to provide the body with the necessary nutrients and vitamins.

Overall, the lymphatic system is an important part of the body's healthy functioning and its maintenance requires attention and care.



Lymphatic circulation is a type of blood circulation inherent in animals with a variable type of movement. The first stage of lymph circulation begins while the animal is on land (when it stands or walks), and then repeats when swimming. During running, blood flow to the heart increases, which leads to atrial and ventricular systole. As a result of an increase in blood flow along the current between the wall and the cavity of the heart, the chambers of the heart are stretched. Blood entering the left ventricle is compressed and converted into a stroke that travels from the atrium to the aorta. Next, the blood moves through the veins to the heart, where it flows into the atrium, re-compressing. This movement of blood from the heart into the animal's body carries out the first stage of lymph circulation. Subsequently, the animal enters the water and remains under its influence for some time. In this case, the body warms up, liquids and gases move inside and outside the body. Positive pressure in the atmosphere affects the dilation of blood vessels and reduces air pressure, reducing the systolic volume of blood in the microvasculature. Also, the types of blood circulation in tissues change. In the second stage of lymph circulation, the blood in the tissues forms “microrecruvaoli”, which contain serous fluid located between the tissue cells. This process does not involve compression of the heart muscle. Then the vertical standing stage occurs, which is repeated several times. A sudden drop in pressure forces the serous pathway out of the microruvals. Serous fluid moves into the capillary bed, creating the first part of lymphatic drainage. Then proteins and other substances enter the lymph, and all this crosses the capillary.

One example of this phenomenon is leeches, which feed on blood by mixing sucking movements. However, in addition to this, leeches use lymph circulation to further purify the blood through their digestive system. Leeches secrete enzymes that digest body tissue and also help cleanse the blood of harmful substances.

This system is also found in freshwater shrimp. They have special bags called reservoirs to filter the liquid. When a shrimp enters water, it actively moves its legs, drawing water into its body and circulating the liquid. Water pressure moves fluid towards the layers of the intestine, which helps filter the fluid. This fluid flows from the intestines back into the reservoir and undergoes an additional stage of purification from toxic substances.
