During blood circulation,exchanges of the nutrients,wastes,gases and the carbon dioxide as this exchange happened, some fluids leaks from the cappilaries to space between body cells. Much of this fluid is plasma. When absorbed by the lymph vessels, this fluid is called LYMPH.
Thats all i know thanks....................... :D

Lymph vessels return intercellular fluid to the bloodstream near the heart, where it becomes part of the blood plasma. This process helps maintain fluid balance in the body and supports the immune system by transporting lymphocytes and other immune cells.
The small filtering structures to which afferent lymph vessels carry lymph are called lymph nodes. These nodes are crucial components of the lymphatic system, where immune cells can encounter and respond to pathogens present in the lymph fluid.
Lymph differs from plasma primarily in its composition and function. While plasma is the liquid component of blood that contains proteins, nutrients, hormones, and waste products, lymph is a clear fluid that primarily consists of water, lymphocytes, and some proteins, but fewer than plasma. Lymph circulates through the lymphatic system, helping to remove waste and transport immune cells, whereas plasma circulates within blood vessels, delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Additionally, lymph is involved in immune responses, while plasma plays a key role in maintaining blood pressure and volume.
Colorless tissue fluid is called lymph. It is a clear fluid that is derived from blood plasma and plays a crucial role in the immune system by transporting white blood cells and removing waste products from tissues.
Lymph nodes have efferent lymphatic vessels that drain lymph away from the node. These vessels carry filtered lymph containing immune cells and waste products back into the bloodstream.

Back to the blood to become plasma again.
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.
Fluids and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries are called lymph.
Lymph contains less protein than plasma because lymph is formed from interstitial fluid that leaks from blood vessels into tissues. This leakage results in the loss of some proteins to the tissues. Therefore, once the interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels, it has a lower protein concentration than plasma.
Yes, lacteals are small lymphatic vessels that absorb fats and fatty acids from the small intestine.
During transfer of blood between cells and blood vessels, there is an inevitable leaking of blood plasma into the space between organs (interstice). the blood cells are to large to get filtered, so it is only the plasma which fill these spaces.Stagnant fluid becomes a breeding ground for pathogens, so to prevent this there are special vessels called lymphatic vessels which keep the plasma (or lymph) in motion. lymph also has specialised phagocytic WBC's called lymphocytes which play a very important role in immunity.

While surrounding tissues it is called interstitial fluid. Once it enters the lymphatic system it is called lymphatic fluid.
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...
