Question

what is the difference between lymphatic circulatory system and blood circulatory system?

Answer 1

The difference between blood circulatory system and lymphatic circulatory system is given below:

Blood circulatory system	Lymph circulatory system
Blood is red in color and opaque	Lymph is colorless and transparent
Blood contains plasma and all formed elements	Lymph contains plasma and white blood cells
Blood flows rapidly and transports materials up to and from the tissues but does not reach the cells directly	Lymph flows slowly and transfers materials from blood to cells and vice versa
Amount of plasma proteins is high in blood.	Amount of plasma proteins is less in lymph.
The sequence of fluid flow is heart $\to$ arteries $\to$capillaries $\to$ veins and back to heart	The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries (blood) $\to$ interstitial spaces (interstitial fluid) $\to$ lymphatic capillaries (lymph) $\to$ lymphatic vessels (lymph) $\to$ lymphatic ducts (lymph) $\to$ junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins (blood).
