Extracellular
The fluid is called lymphatic fluid. It is msotly water with electrolytes and white blood cells.
Lymph
The lymph nodes located in the underarm region are termed as axillary lymph nodes. These nodes play a key role in filtering lymph fluid from the upper limbs and breast area, helping to trap and destroy harmful substances like bacteria and cancer cells.
The lymphatic system collects excess fluid, called lymph, from the tissues and returns it to the bloodstream. This helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a crucial role in the immune system by filtering lymph and trapping pathogens before they can spread.
The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from tissues. The lymph system is a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph system is a major part of the body's immune system.
Fluids and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries are called lymph.
Interstitial fluid
Lymph closely resembles interstitial fluid, which is the fluid that surrounds cells in tissues. Both lymph and interstitial fluid consist primarily of water, electrolytes, and proteins, but lymph contains a higher concentration of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Additionally, lymph is collected by lymphatic vessels and plays a crucial role in the immune system, while interstitial fluid is part of the extravascular compartment.
Lymph nodes can produce and contain lymph fluid, but they do not typically leak fluid. If a lymph node is damaged or infected, it may become enlarged or tender, but leakage of lymphatic fluid from a lymph node is not a common occurrence.
Fluid and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries
lymph capillary Lymph fluid is filtered in lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are along lymph vessels which that run along blood vessels. Lymph vessels draw in interstitial fluid (fluid between cells) and it them becomes lymph fluid. Lymph nodules are in connective tissue in place of high traffic and does not function as a filter because it's not along a lymph vessel.
Lymph
Lymph is a clear fluid
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
The lymph capillary in the right arm channels excess fluid from plasma. This fluid flows in the direction of the lymph nodes in the axilla through larger lymphatic vessels where the fluid becomes lymph.
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.
Lymph originates from the interstitial fluid that surrounds tissues and organs in the body. This fluid is collected by lymphatic vessels and transported through the lymphatic system, eventually forming lymph.
