Location also LYMPH .
- Lymph means clear water and it is derived from the fluid and protein that has been squeezed out of the blood (i.e. blood plasma).
- It is a pale fluid that bathes the tissues of an organism, maintaining fluid balance, and removes bacteria from tissues; it enters the blood system by way of lymphatic channels and ducts.
- Prominent among the constituents of lymph are lymphocytes and macrophages, the primary cells of the immune system with which the body defends itself from invasion by foreign microorganisms.
- It contains fluid from the intestines called chyle, which contains proteins and fats.
INTERSTITIAL FLUID
- Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid, or intercellular fluid) is a solution which bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals.
- To prevent a build-up of tissue fluid surrounding the cells in the tissue, the lymphatic system plays a part in the transport of tissue fluid.
- Tissue fluid can pass into the surrounding lymph vessels (now called Lymph), and eventually ends up rejoining the blood.

What is the major difference between lymph and interstitial fluid?
during the exchange of gases in the tissues , some colorless fluid oozes out of the capillaries and fills the inter cellular spaces . this fluid is called interstitial or tissue fluid. It is the medium through which the exchange of gasses and food takes place. now some of this fluid enters the blind lymphatic capillary. as it has entered the lymph vessel then this fluid is now called lymph. the excess tissue fluid is returned back to the blood by this lymphatic system.
What is extracellular fluid AND where is it found?
Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of cells. It is in the interstitial space, in the blood vessels and lymph vessels
