Abstract

The lymph plasma contains various chemical constituents filtered out from the blood capillaries and metabolic or secretory products of tissue itself, and differs from tissue fluid. The various organs of the body contribute in very distinct manners to flow and composition of this main lymph. The paper presents review of the literature concerning the data on the role of lymph flow and lymph biochemistry.
