Hey user...
Composition
The lymph appears as a translucent, colorless or slightly yellow fluid. It is similar to the blood plasma and is composed of [2,5-s.15]:
●Water (96%)Lipids, mainly in the form of chylomicrons, which contain triglycerides and phospholipids
●Proteins derived from the blood and body cells: albumins, globulins, clotting factors, tissue proteins, enzymes, antibodies
●Products of the cell metabolism: urea, creatinine
●Minerals: sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate
●Lymphocytes, mainly type B, which come either from the arterial blood that supplies the lymph nodes or are created in the lymph nodes themselves
●Occasional foreign particles, microbes and cancerous cells
