Lymph Composition

What's in it?


Blood Plasma (the liquid portion of blood) that is pumped from the heart to tissues, leaks through the thin walls of the capillaries into the interstitial space of the skin. This leaked blood plasma is then called interstitial or extracellular fluid and carries with it nutrients for the tissue cells. Once the interstitial fluid enters the lymph capillaries it becomes Lymph fluid. There is between 3-4 litres of lymphatic fluid produced by an average adult every day. are a great way to keep your posts organized.

Human lymph, obtained from thoracic duct



The lymph returning from your intestines is milky, owing to the presence of fatty acids absorbed from your diet. This mixture of fats and lymph is drained into a dilated sac - the cisterna chyli (meaning 'reservoir for chyle') - at the lower end of the thoracic duct. The thoracic duct then conveys the chyle to your bloodstream, where the fats it carries can be processed for energy or storage. you write a post, you can add it up to 3 different categories.
