➡ Lymph is a clear to pale-white fluid which circulates throughout the lymphatic system. The main role of the lymphatic system is to act as a filter against microbes, organic wastes and other debris.

➡ It consists of less calcium, few blood proteins, less phosphorus, and high glucose concentration. Globulin proteins which are actual antibodies are found in lymph plasma. Other substances include organic and inorganic substances.

• It keeps the body cells moist.

• It transports oxygen, hormones and nutrients to different parts of the body and removes metabolic waste from the cells.

• It transports antibodies and lymphocytes to the blood.

• Maintaining the composition of tissue fluid and the volume of blood.

• Absorption of fats from the small intestine through lymphatic vessels.

• Prevents invasion of microbes and foreign substances inside the lymph nodes.

➡ In animals and human beings, extracellular fluid (fluid outside the cell) is divided into the interstitial fluid (the fluid which exists between the tissues) and plasma. It consists of small water-soluble substances which flow in between the tissue cells. Both plasma and interstitial fluid are the same due to the continuous exchange of small solutes, water and ions across the capillary walls of the tissues.
