Excess tissue fluid enters lymph capillaries to become lymph, which is moved through the lymphatic system by tissue fluid pressure and muscle contractions, eventually draining into veins near the heart.
- drains into lymph capillaries - lymph in lymphatic system moves by hydrostatic pressure of tissue fluid and skeletal muscle contractions - lymph drains into veins near heart
| Front | What happens to tissue fluid that doesn't reenter capillaries? |
|---|---|
| Back | - drains into lymph capillaries - lymph in lymphatic system moves by hydrostatic pressure of tissue fluid and skeletal muscle contractions - lymph drains into veins near heart |
