Lymph fluid contained in the lymphatic vessels are transparent, colrless or slightly yellow. Unlike blood, lymph contains only one type of cell, the lymphocyte. Fluiid collected the the tissue spaces, it then passes via capillaries, vessles, glands and ducts to be poured back into the blood stream. Lymph nodes accumulations of lymphatic tissue at intervals along lymphatic vessels; mainly act a filters.
