Detailed explanation-1: -Blood vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients to virtually all cells in developing mammalian embryos and adults, whereas lymphatic vessels drain the interstitial fluid that collects in tissues, and serve as a conduit for immune cell trafficking and fat absorption.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system (lymph, lymph nodes and lymph vessels) supports the circulatory system by draining excess fluids and proteins from tissues back into the bloodstream, thereby preventing tissue swelling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simply speaking, the difference between blood and lymph is that lymph, unlike blood, is colourless and it is a return fluid from tissues to the central circulation. Furthermore, interstitial fluid is present between the cells in the various tissues and it enters the lymph capillaries.
