Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph, also called lymphatic fluid, is the extra interstitial fluid that drains from your body’s cells and tissues. The fluid is watery and colorless.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system carries clear watery fluid called lymph. The lymph drains out from the small blood vessels (capillaries) into the body tissues. It is a one-way drainage system. Proteins can also move out of the capillaries and the lymph carries them back to the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -It helps bring oxygen and nutrients to cells and to remove waste products from them. As new interstitial fluid is made, it replaces older fluid, which drains towards lymph vessels. When it enters the lymph vessels, it is called lymph. Also called tissue fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pre-nodal lymph is interstitial fluid that has entered initial lymphatics, and so has the same composition of water, salts, plasma proteins (albumins, globulins and fibrinogen) and white blood cells; the plasma-protein concentration is typically < 0.01 gm/ml.
