Detailed explanation-1: -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 a clear-to-white fluid made of: White blood cells, especially lymphocytes, the cells that attack bacteria in the blood and body tissues. Fluid from the intestines called chyle, which contains proteins and fats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tissue fluid is important for the exchange of substances between the blood and the cells Tissue fluid is formed from blood plasma leaking from the capillaries, but does not contain plasma proteins as these are too big to fit through the capillary wall.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph: Lymph, also called lymphatic fluid, is a collection of the extra fluid that drains from cells and tissues (that is not reabsorbed into the capillaries) plus other substances.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lymph does not contain more plasma proteins. They are not composed of proteins but they transport the excess protein molecules to the blood stream.
