The lymphatic system lacks a central pump like the heart for the circulatory system. Lymph fluid is propelled by the contractions of skeletal muscles during movement and the changes in thoracic pressure during breathing. Valves in lymph vessels prevent back - flow but do not directly push the fluid forward. The heart circulates blood, not lymph.
