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.
