Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph plasma lacks proteins. Blood plasma consists of proteins, calcium, and phosphorus. Nutrients are supplied from the cells, and issued to the blood through lymphatic vessels. Nutrients are supplied to different organs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between plasma and interstitial fluid is that plasma contains more proteins whereas interstitial fluid contains fewer proteins. Most of the other dissolved products such as nutrients and electrolytes occur in similar concentrations in both plasma and interstitial fluid.
