Since the lymph is derived from the interstitial fluid, its composition continually changes as theblood and the surrounding cells continually exchange substances with the interstitial fluid. It is generally similar to blood plasma, which is the fluid component of blood.
Unlike blood, which flows throughout the body in a continue loop, lymph flows in only one direction within its own system. This flow is only upwardtoward the neck. Here, it flows into the venous blood stream through the subclavien veins which are located on either sides of the neck near the collarbones.
The lymphatic system has multiple interrelatedfunctions: It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the digestive system. It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones
