Lymph and Tissue Fluid

Ever wondered how your body prevents itself from swelling like a balloon? In this video, we break down the fascinating roles of tissue fluid and lymph in maintaining your body’s fluid balance. Discover how interstitial fluid (tissue fluid) forms through ultrafiltration in capillaries and how the lymphatic system steps in to manage any excess—keeping you healthy and swelling-free.

We explore how tissue fluid, derived from blood plasma, surrounds body cells to enable nutrient and waste exchange. But when too much of it accumulates, it can cause edema—that’s where lymph and the lymphatic vessels come in. Learn how around 3 liters of lymph are produced daily and how lymphatic capillaries collect and transport this excess fluid, along with larger molecules like proteins and bacteria, back into the bloodstream through specialized structures like the thoracic duct.

This video also compares the composition and function of tissue fluid vs. lymph, shedding light on how immune cells like lymphocytes play a crucial role in monitoring your internal environment through lymph nodes. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of where these fluids are found, what they’re made of, and why they’re essential to your circulatory and immune systems.
