lymph
lymph L0304200 (lĭmf)n.1. A clear, watery, sometimes faintly yellowish fluid derived from body tissues that contains white blood cells and circulates throughout the lymphatic system, returning to the venous bloodstream through the thoracic duct. Lymph acts to remove bacteria and certain proteins from the tissues, transport fat from the small intestine, and supply mature lymphocytes to the blood.2. Archaic A spring or stream of pure, clear water.

Translationslymph
lymph the almost colourless fluid, containing chiefly white blood cells, that is collected from the tissues of the body and transported in the lymphatic system Lymph the fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system of vertebrates and man. With lack of food, the lymph is a transparent or slightly opalescent fluid. After food is eaten, the lymph becomes white and opaque, and its emulsified fat content increases. The specific gravity of lymph is 1.01–1.016. The reaction of lymph is alkaline (pH = 7.4–9). Its chemical composition is similar to that of blood plasma, although there is less protein (3 percent, as compared to 6.5). Its viscosity is low. Lymph is capable of clotting, but it does so more slowly than does blood. Lymph contains blood cells, among which lymphocytes are especially numerous; there are very few erythrocytes. There have been several theories of lymph formation, including a filtration theory, a secretory theory, and Ascher’s theory (after the German scientist L. Ascher, who, in 1898, ascribed lymph formation to cells surrounding the lymphatic vessels of the tissues). According to the modern view, lymph formation is ensured by the continual entrance of fluid into the tissues from the blood plasma and into the lymphatic vessels from the tissue spaces. Lymph production is influenced by the permeability of the blood and lymph vessels, the hydrostatic and osmotic pressure of the blood and tissues, the functional state of the organs, the state of neurohumoral regulatory mechanisms, and the physicochemical state and activity of the connective tissue. Movement of lymph in the vessels (lymph circulation) is ensured by the physiological activities of the organs, the contractions of body muscles, and negative venous pressure. Lymph pressure equals 20 mm H2O (200 newtons [N] per m2). Under certain physiological conditions, it may increase to 60 mm (600 N/m2). The human lymphatic system contains a total of 1–2 liters of lymph. The amount of lymph in the body may increase when the hydrostatic pressure in the blood capillaries rises, when there is an increase in metabolic rate, or under pathological conditions. Poisons and bacterial toxins readily penetrate the lymph. A considerable amount of fat is absorbed from the intestine into the lymph. Inadequate lymph circulation is observed when venous pressure increases and with mechanical pressures (tumors, chronic infections, scars, ligation of lymph vessels); when this happens, lymphostasis leads to an increase in organ volume.

lymph [limf] a transparent, usually slightly yellow, often opalescent liquid found within the lymphatic vessels, and collected from tissues in all parts of the body and returned to the blood via the lymphatic system. It is about 95 per cent water; the remainder consists of plasma proteins and other chemical substances contained in the blood plasma, but in slightly smaller percentage than in plasma. Its cellular component consists chiefly of lymphocytes.
The body contains three main kinds of fluid: blood, tissue fluid, and lymph. The blood consists of the blood cells and platelets, the plasma, or fluid portion, and a variety of chemical substances dissolved in the plasma. When the plasma, without its solid particles and some of its dissolved substances, seeps through the capillary walls and circulates among the body tissues, it is known as tissue fluid. When this fluid is drained from the tissues and collected by the lymphatic system, it is called lymph. The lymphatic system eventually returns the lymph to the blood, where it again becomes plasma. This movement of fluid through the body is described under circulatory system.lymph node any of the accumulations of lymphoid tissue organized as definite lymphoid organs along the course of lymphatic vessels (see accompanying illustration); they consist of an outer cortical and an inner medullary part. Lymph nodes are the main source of lymphocytes of the peripheral blood and, as part of the reticuloendothelial system, serve as a defense mechanism by removing noxious agents such as bacteria and toxins, and probably play a role in antibody formation. Sometimes called, incorrectly, lymph gland. Called also lymph or lymphatic follicle and lymphatic nodule. Location of clusters of superficial lymph nodes. From Applegate, 2000.lymph (limf), [TA] A clear, transparent, sometimes faintly yellow and slightly opalescent fluid that is collected from the tissues throughout the body, flows in the lymphatic vessels (through the lymph nodes), and is eventually added to the venous blood circulation. Lymph consists of a clear liquid portion, varying numbers of white blood cells (chiefly lymphocytes), and a few red blood cells.

Lymph consists of a clear liquid portion, varying numbers of white blood cells (chiefly lymphocytes), and a few red blood cells. lymph Tissue fluids drained by the lymph vessels and returned to the large veins. Lymph varies in character in different parts of the body. Lymph from the tissues contains large numbers of white cells, mainly LYMPHOCYTES, and is usually clear. Lymph from the intestines is milky, especially after a meal, because of the large number of fat globules which it contains. Fat-laden lymph is called CHYLE.lymph the INTERSTITIAL FLUID found in the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM and around the tissues of vertebrates, with a total volume of around 20 litres in an adult human. Although its composition varies with location in the body, lymph is typically a clear, transparent fluid (95% water) which, like blood, will clot when removed from lymph vessels since it contains similar clotting agents to blood (except platelets). Lymph also contains protein, glucose and salts with large numbers of LEUCOCYTES, mainly LYMPHOCYTES.LymphThe almost colourless fluid that bathes body tissues and is found in the lymphatic vessels that drain the tissues of the fluid that filters across the blood vessel walls from blood. Lymph carries antibodies and lymphocytes (white blood cells that help fight infection) that have entered the lymph nodes from the blood.Mentioned in: Bejel, Elephantiasis, Laryngeal Cancer, Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell, Lymphedema, Lymphocytopenia, Lymphogranuloma Venereum, Salivary Gland Tumorslymph (limf) [TA] A clear, sometimes faintly yellow, and slightly opalescent fluid collected from tissues throughout the body, flows in the lymphatic vessels, and through the lymph nodes, and is eventually added to the venous blood circulation.Patient discussion about lymphQ. tender protuding lymph node lump rt. arm pit aprox. 1/2" dia. any concerns or recommend treatment necessary? A. lymph nodes can flare up any time you get infected in the armpit and all the area that it drains. i had it several times and it went away in the same manner that it came. i think that sometimes it caused because of a blockade done by deodorant. so i try to use this Chinese salt stone that doesn't contain aluminum.
