Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymph is excess interstitial fluid that has been collected by the lymphatic vessels and transported back into the bloodstream. It contains lymphocytes and other immune cells that help defend against infection. Lymph is not found only when there is a pathological condition, as it is a normal component of the immune system. It is also not synthesized by the lymphoid organs, but rather contains cells that are produced in those organs. The spleen filters blood, but not lymph.
