systems. Blood starts in the bone\u00ad marrow, made by a process called he\u00admatopoiesis. It&#8217;s a living fluid connective tissue\u00ad, made of red and white blood ce\u00adlls, platelets, and plasma. Blood travels around our bodie\u00ads through arteries, veins, and little\u00ad tubes called capillaries. It has many jobs like\u00ad carrying oxygen, food, hormones, and waste. Also, it&#8217;s re\u00adally important for our immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Lymph is differe\u00adnt. It&#8217;s a clear or light yellow fluid that starts around cells in our tissue\u00ads. The lymphatic system, a system of tube\u00ads, nodes, and organs, collects lymph. Lymph comes back to the\u00ad bloodstream, bringing extra fluid from around cells. It is also ve\u00adry important for our immune system. By looking at where\u00ad blood and lymph come from, how they move around, and what the\u00ady do, we can learn how they&#8217;re\u00ad different but also work togethe\u00adr. This helps us better unde\u00adrstand our bodies&#8217; health and balance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-703781\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/difference-between-blood-and-lymph-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Difference Between Blood and Lymph\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/difference-between-blood-and-lymph-copy.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/difference-between-blood-and-lymph-copy-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/difference-between-blood-and-lymph-copy-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/difference-between-blood-and-lymph-copy-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Definition_of_Blood\"><\/span>Definition of Blood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most important components of life is blood. It is a red coloured body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates. Blood delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the body cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/articles\/blood\/\">Blood<\/a> <\/strong>is pushed through the organism by the heart and blood cells are made in the bone marrow. Moreover, most blood is in the liquid form that contains several proteins and cells.

This fluid flows through the lymphatic system, which is composed of lymph vessels and intervening lymph nodes. Lymph is produced when the interstitial fluid is collected through lymph capillaries. Lymph plays a vital role by transporting the white blood cells within the lymph nodes and bones, removing interstitial fluid from tissues, and fighting against the disease-causing and infectious bacteria invading the blood cells.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_blood_and_lymph\"><\/span>Difference between blood and lymph<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #89cff0; color: black;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Differences based on<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Blood<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Lymph<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Definition<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>It is a red colored fluid due to the presence of hemoglobin.<\/td>\n<td>It is a colorless fluid<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Part of System<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>It is a part of the circulatory system<\/td>\n<td>It is a part of the lymphatic system<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Consists of<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>It consists RBCs, WBCs, plasma, platelets<\/td>\n<td>It consists lymphocytes, plasma, platelets and white blood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Main function<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>The primary role of blood is to distribute nutrients and oxygen to different parts of the body and take away metabolic waste products away from those same cells<\/td>\n<td>The primary role of lymph is to provide immunity to the body and it is a part of immune system.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Flowing speed<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Blood flows fast<\/td>\n<td>Very slow compared ot blood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Essential Elements<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Blood has proteins, phosphorus and  calcium<\/td>\n<td>Lymph has fewer proteins, phosphorus and calcium, compared to blood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Diseases<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Blood diseases include thalassemia, polycythemia, and anaemia<\/td>\n<td>Lymph diseases include lymphadenitis, lymphedema, and lymphoma<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Movement motion<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Blood moves in a circular motion<\/td>\n<td>Lymph moves in single direction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_information_on_Blood\"><\/span>More information on Blood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Composition_of_blood\"><\/span>Composition of blood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red blood cells (RBCs)<\/strong> are the cells that transport oxygenated blood to our tissues and organs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White blood cells (WBC)<\/strong> are immune system cells that protect the body from getting infected.<\/li>\n<li>Platelets are also called thrombocytes are tiny pieces of cells rather than cells themselves.
