typically the fluid is made up of lymphatic loads.Lymph has a composition comparable to that of blood plasma, but it may differ slightly. Lymph contains white blood cells. In particular, the lymph that leaves a lymph node is richer in lymphocytes. Likewise, the lymph formed in the digestive system called chyle is rich in fat, and looks milky white
Lymph fluid runs throughout the lymphatic system. The composition of lymph fluid is white blood cells. These cells are responsible for fighting off infections in the body.
Lymph differs from blood through its colourless fluid, less proteins, extracellular fluid where as blood is red in colour ,high in protein and is intracellular.
hope that helps guys!!

The composition of lymph is similar to?
The composition of lymph is similar to blood plasma, but with fewer proteins and no red blood cells. It also contains white blood cells, electrolytes, fats, and cellular waste products.
How does osmosis determine the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial fluid?
Fluid enters the lymphatic system (this system returns fluid and proteins to blood) by diffusing into lymph capillaries. This fluid is now called lymph and is kind of like interstitial fluid in composition. This movement of fluid is determined by net balance. It only diffuses into the capillaries if there isn't enough fluid there to begin with.
What is the fluid and particles absorbed into lymph caillaries?
Fluids and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries are called lymph.
Fluid that lies between cells and becomes lymph as it enters lymph capillaries?
Interstitial fluid
Can lymph nodes leak fluid?
Lymph nodes can produce and contain lymph fluid, but they do not typically leak fluid. If a lymph node is damaged or infected, it may become enlarged or tender, but leakage of lymphatic fluid from a lymph node is not a common occurrence.
Fluid and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries?
Fluid and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries
Do lymph nodes filter lymph?
lymph capillary Lymph fluid is filtered in lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are along lymph vessels which that run along blood vessels. Lymph vessels draw in interstitial fluid (fluid between cells) and it them becomes lymph fluid. Lymph nodules are in connective tissue in place of high traffic and does not function as a filter because it's not along a lymph vessel.
Fluid and particles formed in lymph capillaries?
Lymph
Describe the source of the lymph?
Lymph is a clear fluid
What is Difference between tissue fluid and lymph?
when lymph fluid is contained inside lymph vessels or lymph node(lymphatic system) it is called lymph whereas when it is squeezed out of cells b/w the cell membranes it is called tissue fluid
What is the pathway you would take from the lymph capillary in the right arm to the lymph node in the axilla?
The lymph capillary in the right arm channels excess fluid from plasma. This fluid flows in the direction of the lymph nodes in the axilla through larger lymphatic vessels where the fluid becomes lymph.
What is the origin of lymph?
Lymph originates from interstitial fluid that leaks out of blood vessels into tissues. This fluid is then collected by lymphatic vessels and filtered through lymph nodes before returning to the bloodstream.
