Solution
Lymph:
Lymph is a type of circulatory fluid that exists in the body in addition to blood.
Lymph is a clear or colorless fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system, which includes lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
Interstitial fluid or tissue fluid are other names for lymph.
The lymphatic system's organs and tissues are the primary locations for the production, differentiation, and proliferation of two types of lymphocytes: T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, also known as T cells and B cells.
The thymus, bone marrow, and fetal liver are all primary lymphoid organs.
Mature B and T lymphocytes leave the primary lymphoid organs and transport them to the secondary lymphoid organs via the bloodstream, where they become activated when they come into contact with foreign materials such as particulate matter and infectious agents known as antigens.
