Draw a diagram of the initial lymphatics (i.e., lymph capillaries) and label important parts of the structure. Explain how lymphatic drainage massage techniques facilitate the flow of lymph fluid into these tiny vessels

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: See Figure 23-4 for diagram of initial lymphatics. Lymphatic facilitation techniques move the superficial skin layers, which pulls on the anchoring filaments attached to the cell walls, opening the overflaps between cells, thus allowing lymph fluid to enter the tiny vessels.
