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...
Lymph originates from interstitial fluid that leaks out of blood vessels into tissues. This fluid is then collected by lymphatic vessels and filtered through lymph nodes before returning to the bloodstream.
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.
The medical term for tissue fluid that has entered the lymphatic vessels is lymph.
