What is the difference between tissue fluid and lymph?
Three main fluids:
1) Blood
2) Tissue fluid
3) Lymph

Blood leaks from capillaries to the area surrounding the cells. This forms tissue fluid which bathes the cells.
If blood kept on leaking, then there would be a build up of tissue fluid which may completely drain the blood vessels and cause a buildup or explosion of the area of the tissue fluid. So tissue fluid is returned by lymph vessels. Lymph vessels eventually return the blood to the subclavian vein near the heart and the cycle continues.

Then what does lymph contain?

Guys, can anyone explain this to me:
View attachment 18200
I answered this question already in page 2, and I'm not in the mood to type it all out again. So I'll just copy and paste it:
====================================================================================
A, B, C, and D are four different bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine). They want to know which one is adenine.
By looking at sample 3, we can know this is a piece of RNA because it has uracil instead of thymine. This also proved to us that choice C is thymine because it is absent in RNA.
Now you just have to look at any other sample (1, 2, or 4) and find which choice is almost identical to C (since the amount of thymine is equal to that of adenine)
In sample 1, the percentage of thymine is 30%, and the closest one to that would be choice B (31%). Since B is almost identical to thymine, then B is adenine.
In sample 2, thymine is 24%, and the closest choice to that would be B (23%)
In sample 4, thymine is 33%, and the closest choice would be B (32%).

All three samples prove that base B is adenine since it is almost identical to thymine. The reason for the slight difference is experimental error.

so what is the difference in composition between all three?????

The three of them are nearly identical. Here are the differences:
1) Blood has red blood cells; tissue fluid and lymph do not.
2) Lymph near the small intestine (lacteals) absorb lipids from our food, so they have a lot of fats
3) Lymph near the liver has a lot of protein.

But most other lymph vessels have nearly the exact same composition as blood and tissue fluid.

and does tissue fluid have protein ???

Pressure potential actually increases the water potential, so it is positive and not negative.
The greater the pressure exerted, the higher the pressure potential.
So the more turgid a cell is, the more positive is the pressure potential (and the higher the water potential).
Thanks alottt :D and btw a higher water potential is (less negative ) right?
