Blood and Lymph
Blood and Lymph both are two circulatory fluids of the body. Blood is that the unique fluid animal tissue present in our body and it plays a big role in transporting a good sort of substances to different parts of the body. The main components of blood include Red blood cells, White blood cells, blood platelets and plasma. Blood is that the main component of the human cardiovascular system. Lymph may be a clear to white fluid tissue which consists of lymphocytes and white blood cells. Lymph is that the part of the system lymphatic and is usually found within the lymphatic vessels and within the various cavities of the body.
Blood moves via blood vessels and lymph moves via lymphatic vessels. Blood transports gases, nutrients, and metabolic wastes. Lymph is draining of tissue fluid into the cardiovascular system. The major difference between blood and lymph is their function within the body.
As most of the cells within the physical body aren't in direct contact with the external environment, then the cardiovascular system acts as a transport system for the cells. Two distinct fluids move through the circulatory system: blood and lymph. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells, and carries waste materials away. Blood also carries hormones, which control body processes, and antibodies, to fight invading germs. The heart is that the pump that keeps this transport system moving. Together, the blood, heart, and blood vessels form the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system (lymph, lymph nodes and lymph vessels) supports the circulatory system by draining excess fluids and proteins from tissues back into the bloodstream, thereby preventing tissue swelling. It also serves as a defence system for the body, filtering out organisms that cause disease, producing white blood cells, and generating antibodies. The biochemical make up of lymph is the fluid found in the lymphatic vessels varies with the site of origin. The tissue include blood and lymph are Lymphoid tissue, cells and organs that make up the lymphatic system, such as white blood cells (leukocytes), bone marrow, and the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. Damage to the lymphatic and circulatory systems leaves the body more vulnerable to sickness and infection, also on serious conditions like cancer. Formation of Clots in blood is quickly due to the presence of more fibrinogen and Clots in lymph is slowly due to the presence of less fibrinogen.
The movement of blood is in a circular motion whereas the movement of lymph is in a single direction. Infectious lymphangitis occurs when viruses and bacteria invade the vessels of your system lymphatic, typically through an infected cut or wound. Tender red streaks often radiate from the wound toward the closest lymph glands. Other symptoms include fever, chills, and a general sense of illness. This infection invades the blood and lymph.
