Introduction
Lymph, a fluid, is formed from interstitial fluid that is filtered into the lymph vessels. Lymph is transported unidirectionally through lymphatic vessels before eventually reentering the blood stream. Lymph transports lymphocytes and triacylglcerides.
Formation
Ly mph is formed by the filtration of interstitial (tissue) fluid into lymphatic capillaries. Lymphatic capillaries are more permeable than there blood counterparts and thus allow proteins to enter them.
