from interstitial spaces towards the heart through lymphatic capillaries to lympahtic vessels then to lymphatic nodes then to the right lymphatic duct once in the venous blood, the lymph is then recycled through the body through the circulatory system
Found in spaces between cells and becomes lymph when it enters lymph capillaries.
Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid) is a solution that surrounds the cells of animals. It is the main component of the extracellular fluid, it includes plasma and transcellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is found in the interstitial spaces, also known as the tissue spaces.
Interstitial compartments
Interstitial spaces
Lymph moves in one direction to prevent pathogens from flowing through the entire body. the system filters out microorganisms as the lymph passes through the various capillaries, vessels, and nodes.
There is very little fluid in the tissue spaces because fluid is quickly picked up by the lymphatic capillaries, so the HP is very low.
The term "interstitial" refers to the space between tissues or cells in the body. In medicine, interstitial can describe conditions or diseases that affect or occur in these spaces, such as interstitial lung disease or interstitial cystitis.
The lymphatic capillaries are small, thin-walled vessels that collect excess tissue fluid (lymph) from the interstitial spaces and return it to the bloodstream. This helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a crucial role in the immune system by transporting immune cells and proteins.
