Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The 10 percent that does not return becomes part of the interstitial fluid that surrounds the tissue cells. It helps in exchange of gasses, nutrients and removes the metabolic waste. It is devoid of RBC. It contains fewer proteins than plasma and lacks RBC.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph is a tissue fluid, and is devoid of platelets. Serum is plasma devoid of clotting factors. So, platelets are also absent in serum.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lymph contains lesser proteins because they have been filtered by the kidneys and removed from the plasma. The number of proteins that escaped from the capillaries to tissue is very less.
