This manual lymph drainage guide covers the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the lymphatic system, providing key background information necessary for effective treatment. Chapters are structured according to anatomic regions, focusing on the lymphatic knots and their tributary regions in the throat, armpit, trunk, and groin. Photographs illustrate the lymphatic knots and lymphatic courses, which are drawn on the human body, and provide a clear picture of the structures to be treated. Designated points are numbered to illustrate the progression of treatment in each region. Also includes coverage of complete decongestive therapy (CDT).

Chapter 1 Anatomy of the Lymph Vessel System
Important tasks of the lymph vessel system are the drainage and transport of interstitial fluid or lymph.
The lymph vessel system is a component of the lymphatic system, which also includes the lymphatic organs (thymus, spleen, tonsils, etc.). The most important task of the lymph vessels is the drainage and transport of interstitial fluid, along with various substances contained in it, into the venous blood circulation.
The lymph vessels of the small intestine are capable of absorbing and transporting food fats away from the intestine. Furthermore, the lymphatic system is an important component of the immune defense system.
The goal of manual lymph drainage and complete decongestive therapy is to improve or restore lymph drainage that has become impaired. To apply these therapeutic methods successfully, the therapist must master the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the lymphatic system.
1.1 LYMPH VESSEL SYSTEM
The lymph vessel system is a drainage system. It transports lymph into the venous blood circulation. As in the veins, flap valves in the large lymph vessels ensure directionality of flow.
Unlike the blood vessels, the lymph vessels:

There are also similarities between the lymph and blood vessel systems. For example, lymph transport is fostered by the same factors that favor venous flow. Respiratory motion, arterial pulse waves, and muscle and joint pumps work both on the veins and on the lymph vessels and might also be positively influenced through physiotherapy.
