the claim

The lymphatic system has no central pump like the heart and relies largely on muscle movement and breathing to move lymph.

CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the lymphatic system has no central pump like the heart and relies largely on muscle movement and breathing to move lymph?

Partly. Some sources support that muscle contractions and breathing help move lymph, while others describe an intrinsic active lymphatic pump, so the evidence only partly covers the claim and points both ways.
