Differences between blood and lymph?
Blood
-reddish coloured fluid
-RBCs (red blood cells) + WBCs (white blood cells) + Platelets + Plasma
-carries more amount of oxygen and digested food
-blood plasma contains proteins (plasma proteins)
-flow of blood in blood vessels is faster
-clots quickly (as fibrinogen content is more)
Lymph
-colourless fluid
-Plasma + WBCs + platelets
-carries less amount of oxygen and digested food
-lymph plasma lacks proteins
-flow of lymph is slower
-clots slowly (as fibrinogen content is low)
