Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph. Lymph is a fluid similar in composition to blood plasma. It is derived from blood plasma as fluids pass through capillary walls at the arterial end. As the interstitial fluid begins to accumulate, it is picked up and removed by tiny lymphatic vessels and returned to the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph is the extracellular fluid flowing through the lymphatic system. Lymph flows in one direction from the interstitial spaces to the base of the neck of subclavian veins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymphatic (lim-FAT-ik) vessels, tissues, organs, and glands work together to drain a watery fluid called lymph from throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
