Choose whether the given statement is true or false:

Lymph fluid is the water with dissolved substances that leaks out through the blood capillaries when blood is transferred to the tissue.

The given statement is true.

Lymph fluid is similar to blood plasma in composition. As the blood moves through capillaries at the arterial end, blood cells other than RBCs and platelets from the blood plasma pass through the capillary wall, and lymph fluid is formed. 

The lymph contains very small amounts of nutrients and oxygen but contains abundant carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes as compared to the blood.
