Lymph enters the circulatory system at two places in the subclavian veins. One is on the left side and the other on the right side just under the collar bones on each side.

Where does lymph fluid return to?
To the blood stream.
What is the lyphatic system?
A collection of organs and vessels that return lymph, extra fluid, to the blood stream.
What happens to lymph after it travels through the system?
It returns the fluid to the blood stream. It's a cycle.
How does the lymph get into the lymph vessels?
Lymph is a fluid. It flows through the lymphatic vessels by one way valves which allows lymph move way through lymphatic system. Subclavian suction, and skeletal muscle pumps help to propel the lymph through the lymphatic vessels.
Is it true that about 3 liters of fluid are lost to the tissue spaces every 24 hours and are returned to the blood stream as lymph?
yes/ true
Where does the lymphatic system drain?
Lymph is interstitial fluid that drains from the blood vessels and goes into the interstital space. Lymph retruns to the blood stream via the lymphatic vessels that drain into the subclavian vein.
Where does lymph come from?
Lymph comes from the interstitial fluids spaces in blood where interstitial fluid is found. Lymph is composed mainly of white blood cells.
Where does lymph originally come from?
Lymph is basically the fluid that is between the cells of the body (interstitial fluid), and is basically the same as blood plasma. It initially leaks out of the arteries because the blood in the arteries are under higher hydrostatic pressure than the tissues on the outside of the arteries. As it collects in the tissues, it is sucked up by the lymph system and returned to circulation in the subclavian vein.
Is the plasma membrane the same as intercellular fluid?
There are many differences that can be found between blood and lymph fluid. The cells that are present in blood include erythrocytes, leucocytes, and plates. In lymph fluid the only cells present are lymphocytes. Blood contains hormones and plasma proteins making blood rich in proteins. Lymph fluid has very few proteins present. Blood contains more glucose, amino acids, and oxygen than lymph fluid. However, lymph fluid has more carbon dioxide than blood.
What is the fluid lost by blood called?
Lymph
What fluid forms lymph?
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.
What is called when tissue fluid diffuses into the lymphatic capillaries?
the fluid is called lymph which isn't considered blood because it doesn't have haemoglobin, and isn't considered tissue fluid because it lacks certain substances... so they call it lymph and it gets mixed with blood in the end anyway...
