Disorders and Diseases Affecting the Lymphatic System The lymphatic system plays a key role in regulating the flow of fluids and proteins between the tissues and the general circulation.

Lymph fluid then flows to the lymph nodes‚ which act as filters. The fluid is transported to the circulatory system routed through the lymphatic duct and thoracic

Background Smooth muscle is one of three muscle fiber types found in animals. Unlike skeletal and cardiac muscle cells‚ smooth muscle cells are not striated‚ and have single nuclei. Smooth muscles are typically under control of the autonomic nervous system‚ and do not contract voluntarily. Smooth muscle contracts slowly‚ and does not exhibit the characteristic “twitch” seen in skeletal muscle. In addition‚ smooth muscle is not prone to muscle fatigue‚ making it an ideal component of sphincter muscles
