Lymph is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a vital part of the circulatory and immune systems responsible for maintaining fluid balance, filtering harmful substances, and supporting the body’s defense against infections. It consists of a network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs, including the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph, a clear fluid, circulates throughout this system, collecting waste products, toxins, and pathogens from tissues and transporting them to lymph nodes where immune cells help eliminate them. This system plays a crucial role in immune response, tissue repair, and overall health by assisting in the removal of excess fluids and serving as a key component of the body’s defense mechanisms.
