Characteristics of lymph

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It is generally similar to blood plasma, which is the fluid component of blood. Lymph returns proteins and excess interstitial fluid to the bloodstream. ... Bacteria may enter the lymph channels and be transported to lymph nodes, where they are destroyed. Metastatic cancer cells can also be transported via lymph.

Source: Formed from interstitial fluid

System: Lymphatic system

Answer 2

Answer:

Lymph (from Latin, ancient Roman deity of fresh water, Lympha) is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to the central circulation. Interstitial fluid – the fluid which is between the cells in all body tissues[1] – enters the lymph capillaries. This lymphatic fluid is then transported via progressively larger lymphatic vessels through lymph nodes, where substances are removed by tissue lymphocytes and circulating lymphocytes are added to the fluid, before emptying ultimately into the right or the left subclavian vein, where it mixes with central venous blood.
