Lymph.
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 lymph system, including lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
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.
They don't produce anything. Lymph nodes take excess fluid out of your body, which are extracted from your lymph nodes and travel through your lymph vessels. Then, the body gets rid of this fluid. (you can just guess that part)

Lymph from the lymphatic system
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 presence of one-way valves within the lymphatic vessels helps prevent the backflow of fluid. These valves ensure that lymph flows in one direction towards the heart, assisting in the efficient removal of excess fluid and waste products from tissues.
Fluid leaks through the skin in lymphedema because the lymphatic system is not able to adequately drain excess fluid from the affected area, leading to a buildup of fluid that can escape through the skin. The condition is characterized by impaired lymphatic drainage, causing swelling and increased fluid leakage.
The lymphatic system, or the lymph system, they're the same thing.
Fluids and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries are called lymph.
