The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the upper right quadrant of the body. The thoracic duct drains all the rest. Like veins, the lymphatic tributaries have thin walls and have valves to prevent backflow of blood. There is no pump in the lymphatic system like the heart in the cardiovascular system.The pressure gradients to move lymph through the vessels come from the skeletal muscle action, respiratory movement, and contraction of smooth muscle in vessel walls.ymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures that are usually less than 2.5 cm in length.
