Fluids and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries are called lymph.
It is part of the immune system which is activated in the presence of alien bodies or substances.

Lymph
The fluid is called lymphatic fluid. It is msotly water with electrolytes and white blood cells.
when lymph fluid is contained inside lymph vessels or lymph node(lymphatic system) it is called lymph whereas when it is squeezed out of cells b/w the cell membranes it is called tissue fluid
Yes, interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds cells in the body's tissues, while lymph is the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system. Lymph is derived from interstitial fluid that has entered the lymphatic vessels and is rich in immune cells and protein, playing a crucial role in immune response and fluid balance in the body.
lymph
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...
The orgin on lymph is this: the cardiovascular system pumps blood through its system but it cannot return all the fluid from the body cells. The lymph system picks up 60%of the fluid dropped off at the cellular level, at this point we are talking about interstial fluid, the IF picks up plasma and becomes tissue fluid. The tissue fluid is then picked up my lymph capillaries, the tissue fluid is now called lymph.
Once interstitial fluid enters the collecting vessels, it is called lymph. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains white blood cells and proteins, and it plays a crucial role in the immune system by transporting these cells and proteins throughout the body.
While surrounding tissues it is called interstitial fluid. Once it enters the lymphatic system it is called lymphatic fluid.
