med.
A clear-to-yellowish fluid that circulates throughout the body. In addition to its fluid component, lymph consists of white blood cells
especially lymphocytes
and a small concentration of red blood cells and proteins. As lymph circulates, it picks up unwanted materials, such as bacteria and dead cells, which are then filtered through the lymph nodes. Lymph also supplies mature lymphocytes to the blood.
