- Linfa
- A colourless liquid containing white blood cells which circulates in the lymph system from all body tissues, carrying waste matter away from tissues to the veins. also called lymph fluid comment: lymph drains from the tissues through capillaries into lymph vessels. it is formed of water, protein and white blood cells (lymphocytes). waste matter such as infection in the lymph is filtered out and destroyed as it passes through the lymph nodes, which then add further lymphocytes to the lymph before it continues in the system. it eventually drains into the brachiocephalic (innominate) veins, and joins the venous bloodstream. lymph is not pumped round the body like blood but moves by muscle pressure on the lymph vessels and by the negative pressure of the large veins into which the vessels empty. lymph is an essential part of the body’s defence against infection.
- A usually clear fluid similar to blood serum; it may be free in the tissues of the body, in lymph vessels, or part of the blood.
