The collector lymph vessels are responsible for conducting lymph from the lymph capillary network to the nodes, then ducts. Circular smooth muscle tissue makes up the walls of these collector lymph vessels and contraction of this tissue is a stretch-receptor reflex. This means that the vessel walls are stretched and then, due to nerve signals, they contract. MLD’s precise, repetitive movements target this stretching (thus contracting) of the collector lymph vessel walls, which in turn pushes lymph fluid forward.
