Solution

Tissue fluid:
While the blood passes through the blood capillaries, the colorless fluid that comes out of the capillaries and fills the intercellular spaces is called the tissue fluid or interstitial fluid, or extracellular fluid.
The tissue fluid enters the lymphatic system, then known as lymph, and performs various functions.
Components:
The lymph contains blood plasma and white blood corpuscles (WBCs) mainly lymphocytes.
The red blood corpuscles (RBCs) are absent in the tissue fluid.
The concentration of WBCs is higher in the lymph to provide immunity.
Lymph is a colorless fluid containing a high concentration of WBCs.
