Could you please describe what a lymph is and how it is made to move?

Lymph: is a colorless fluid that contains white blood cells and is contained in the lymphatic vessels. Contraction & relaxation of skeletal and smooth muscles help to propel lymph. It helps drain the body of toxin and metabolic wastes.
