the Lymph
While surrounding tissues it is called interstitial fluid. Once it enters the lymphatic system it is called lymphatic fluid.
Lymph
Found in spaces between cells and becomes lymph when it enters lymph capillaries.
The fluid leaks into the interstitial compartment, at the proximal end of the capillaries. Here the blood pressure is about 30 mm of mercury. At the distal end of the cappilaries the fluid is sucked in by the oncotic pressure of the blood plasma. This pressure is about 22 mm of the mercury. The fluid also enters the lymphatic vessels from the interstitial compartment.
During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.

Lymph
There are two parts to the lymphatic system, the lymph vessels and the lymph nodes. The vessels carry excess interstitial fluid away to the vena cava just before it enters the heart. These vessels run through the lymph nodes. The nodes produce lymphocytes that piggyback the lymph flow to join the blood circulation.
They are called alveoli
Found in spaces between cells and becomes lymph when it enters lymph capillaries.
Interstitial fluid
lymph drainage ducts enters what veins?

The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries.... interstitial space or interstitial fluid..... lymphatic capillaries.... lymphatic vessels.... lymphatic ducts..... junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Then what helps this whole sequence is the skeletal muscle pump and the respiratory pump.
