Question

Why does the lymph contain much less proteins than the plasma?

Answer 1

Lymph:

1. Lymph is a clear, yellow fluid that moves through a network of lymphatic vessels, collecting and returning the nutrients throughout your body.
2. Plasma is a yellowish-colored, liquid material found inside the cells of the body.
3. Plasma is made up of water and other substances like proteins and glucose.

Reason:

1. The lymph contains lesser proteins because they have been filtered by the kidneys and removed from the plasma.
2. The number of proteins that escaped from the capillaries to tissue is very less.
