: What is lymph? What is lymph? thick carbohydrate matrix that supports cells in various tissues of the body the portion of blood that contains red blood cells the layer of lipids that collects under the skin for protection and insulation protein-rich blood plasma that has left capillaries the portion of blood that contains white blood cells and platelets

ANSWER;

protein-rich blood plasma that has left capillaries

Lymph is un reabsorbed  interstitial fluid which are trapped in the capillaries called lymph capillaries. it is pale in color(compare to red of the the blood),and continuously flood the  body tissues for fluid balance and  waste removal.

Macrophages and lymphocytes (WBC) are the principal cellular components,however it also  contain proteins,lipids.It is similar to blood plasma,except for higher amounts of lipids but will lesser amount of WBC and platelets.

Its special channels are the lymphatic vessels of the lymphatic system,which are the lymph nodes and vessels.

The functions of Lymph are:

Responsible for the removal of tissues bathing the tissues(Interstitial fluids ) from the  tissues.

Transport of fats from the lacteal during absorption.

Transport of WBC across from the L.nodes to the bone.

it also  mediates in immune response,through the transport of antigen-presenting cells.

it is similar to blood because it is a circulating fluids,through special vessels,and both   linked by network of capillaries.

However, more  wbc,rbc,platelets,oxygen are present in blood than the lymph. In addition because it returns proteins,it is said to contain proteins,but in actual sense if lacks protein

i am positive it is c. condensing but i may be wrong
